islands

a project exploring the Nahm equations, monopoles & more

Main Page

From Islands

Welcome to our website. In time this site will grow to cover a number of related topics - such as the self-duality equations, integrable systems, monopoles and the Nahm transform.

At the moment though it is a resource for all levels on the Nahm equations.

You can see a summary of the original papers of Werner Nahm here, and also a bibliography.

To begin exploring, click on a section in the image below. Each page has up to three levels - beach, hill and mountain, with beach being the easiest, hill medium-level and mountain the most advanced. Many of the pages have exercises, and the reader is encouraged to try and solve these before looking at the solutions provided.
