Abstract
Harrison-Neugebauer-type transformations are applied starting from self-dual, axially symmetric, Abelian backgrounds embedded in SU(2). This generalizes a previous construction of multicharged monopoles starting similarly from a Higgs vacuum. For this purpose the necessary solutions for the Harrison pseudopotential are obtained using the spherical R gauge. Some special features for a constant background field are studied in detail. The relevance of our results to various recent speculations concerning vacuums with nonvanishing F/sub munu/ and to studies of gauge fields in the presence of sources is pointed out. A generalization to de Sitter space is briefly sketched. It is noted that this latter solution can also be interpreted as instantons in a class of time-dependent backgrounds.
