Abstract
Recent activity in the study of static, finite-energy, topologically charged monopole systems is reviewed. The main developments have been the study of axially symmetric systems, the proof of existence of static multimonopole configurations for large monopole separations, and the explicit construction of single monopoles of arbitrary charge and of multimonopole configurations for small monopole separations.
Lectures given at the XX. Internationale Universitätswochen für Kernphysik, Schladming, Austria, February 17–26, 1981.
