Monopoles and rational maps: A note on a theorem of Donaldson
Description
In a recent paper, Donaldson gave a description of the moduli space of SU(2) monopoles in terms of rational maps; this was done indirectly, via the associated solution of Nahm's equations. We give here an interpretation of these rational maps in terms of the monopole's spectral curve, and then as ''scattering data'' for the monopole itself. (orig.)
