Jones, J.Murray, M.2006-06-192006-06-191995Communications in Mathematical Physics, 1995; 170(2):445-4510010-36161432-0916http://hdl.handle.net/2440/3518Donaldson has shown that the moduli space of monopoles M<inf>k</inf> is diffeomorphic to the space Rat<inf>k</inf> of based rational maps from the two-sphere to itself. We use this diffeomorphism to give an explicit description of the bundle on Rat<inf>k</inf> obtained by pushing out the index bundle from M<inf>k</inf>. This gives an alternative and more explicit proof of some earlier results of Cohen and Jones. © 1995 Springer-Verlag.enJournal article0030006480001995039210.1007/BF02108337A1995RD648000092-s2.0-3424976163070486Murray, M.
