Bogomolny equations
In mathematics, and especially gauge theory, the Bogomolny equations for magnetic monopoles are the equations FA = *DAφ, where FA is the curvature of a connection A on a G-bundle over a 3-manifold M, φ is a section of the corresponding adjoint bundle and * is the Hodge star operator on M. These equations are named after E. B. Bogomolny.
The equations are a dimensional reduction of the self-dual Yang–Mills equations in four dimensions and correspond to global minima of the appropriate action. If M is closed there are only trivial solutions.
