Abstract

Recently we have shown how one may use use integrable systems techniques to implement the ADHMN construction and obtain general analytic formulae for the charge $n \: su(2)$ Euclidean monopole. Here we do this for the case of charge $2$ giving the first analytic expressions (for general $x \in \mathbb{R}^3$) for the gauge invariant $\mathrm{Tr} \Phi^2$, where $\Phi$ is the Higgs field, and the energy density. A comparison with known results and other approaches is made and new results presented.
