In this work we study the dimensional reduction of smooth circle invariant Yang-Mills instantons defined on 4-manifolds which asymptotically become circle fibrations over hyperbolic 3-space. A suitable choice of the 4-manifold metric within a specific conformal class gives rise to singular and smooth hyperbolic monopoles. A large class of monopoles is obtained if the conformal factor satisfies the Helmholtz equation on hyperbolic 3-space. We describe simple configurations and relate our results to the Jackiw-Nohl-Rebbi construction, for which we provide a geometric interpretation.

Abstract
In this work we study the dimensional reduction of smooth circle invariant Yang-Mills instantons defined on 4-manifolds which asymptotically become circle fibrations over hyperbolic 3-space. A suitable choice of the 4-manifold metric within a specific conformal class gives rise to singular and smooth hyperbolic monopoles. A large class of monopoles is obtained if the conformal factor satisfies the Helmholtz equation on hyperbolic 3-space. We describe simple configurations and relate our results to the Jackiw-Nohl-Rebbi construction, for which we provide a geometric interpretation.File in questo prodotto:
