Nahm's equation and the search for classical solutions in Yang-Mills theory

The history of the theory of magnetic monopoles in classical electrodynamics and unified gauge theories is reviewed, and the Atiyah-Ward and Atiyah-Drinfe1d-Hitchin-Man in constructions of exact classical solutions to the self-dual Yang-Mills equations are described. It is shown that the one-dimensi...
