Reihe: Theoretical and Mathematical Physics

This monograph addresses the field of theoretical aspects of magnetic monopoles. The author demonstrates the interplay between mathematics and physics, delving into details as necessary and developing many techniques that find applications in modern theoretical physics. This introduction to the basic ideas used for the description and construction of monopoles is also the first coherent presentation of the concept of magnetic monopoles. The book summarizes the present status of the theory and gives an extensive but carefully selected bibliography on the subject.
