Wu-Yang monopole

Wu-Yang monopole

The Wu-Yang monopole was the first solution, found in 1968 by Tai Tsun Wu and Chen Ning Yang, [Wu, T.T. and Yang, C.N. (1968) in "Properties of Matter Under Unusual Conditions", edited by H. Mark and S. Fernbach (Interscience, New York).] to the Yang-Mills field equations. It describes a magnetic monopole which is pointlike and has a potential which behaves like 1/r everywhere.
