Exploring Magnetic Monopole Interactions: Two-Defect Motion

Gannon Lenhart

This research is on the simulation of one magnetic monopole interacting with multiple magnetic singularities. Three-dimensional plots of the energy density are constructed from explicit solutions to the Bogomolny equation obtained by Blair, Cherkis, and Durcan. Animations, using code created within Mathematica, follow trajectories derived from collective coordinate mechanics on the multi-centered Taub--NUT monopole moduli space.
