Abstract
We discuss the ADHMN construction for SU(N) monopoles and show that a particular simplification arises in studying charge N - 1 monopoles with minimal symmetry breaking. Using this we construct families of tetrahedrally symmetric SU(4) and SU(5) monopoles. In the moduli space approximation, the SU(4) one-parameter family describes a novel dynamics where the monopoles never separate, but rather, a tetrahedron deforms to its dual. We find a two-parameter family of SU(5) tetrahedral monopoles and compute some geodesics in this submanifold numerically. The dynamics is rich, with the monopoles scattering either once or twice through octahedrally symmetric configurations.
