Spherically symmetric solutions of a boundary value problem for monopoles
(1529K, LaTeX)

ABSTRACT.  In this paper we study spherically symmetric monopoles, which are critical 
points for the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional over a disk 
in 3 dimensions, with prescribed degree and covariant constant at the boundary. 
This is a 3-dimensional gauge-theory generalization of the Ginzburg-Landau 
model in 2 dimensions.
