Abstract

It is well known that the Dirac monopole solution with the U(1) gauge group embedded into the group SU(2) is equivalent to the SU(2) Wu-Yang point monopole solution having no Dirac string singularity. We consider a multicenter configuration of m Dirac monopoles and n antimonopoles and its embedding into SU(2) gauge theory. Using geometric methods, we construct an explicit solution of the SU(2) Yang-Mills equations which generalizes the Wu-Yang solution to the case of m monopoles and n antimonopoles located at arbitrary points in R3.
