Hey, Anthony J. G.; Merlin, John H.; Ricketts, Martin William; Vaughn, Michael T.; Williams, David C. Topological solutions in gauge theory and their computer graphic representation. (English) Zbl 1226.81127 Science 240, No. 4856, 1163-1168 (1988). Summary: A diverse range of physical phenomena, both observed and hypothetical, are described by topological solutions to nonlinear gauge field theories. Computer-generated color graphic displays can provide a clear and detailed representation of some of these solutions, which might otherwise be physically unintelligible because of their mathematical complexity. Graphical representations are presented here for two topological solutions: (i) the solutions of a model that represents the filaments of quantized magnetic flux in a superconductor, and (ii) the solutions of an SO(3) gauge theory corresponding to a pair of separated magnetic monopoles. An introduction is provided to the gauge field theories giving rise to these solutions.
