Magnetic Monopoles ($\pi_2$)
Magnetic monopoles are point-like topological defect's arising from the breaking of a compact symmetry group, most famously $SU(2)$, down to $U(1)$ (electromagnetism), as described by the Bogomol'nyi–Prasad–Sommerfield (BPS) limit of Grand Unified Theories.
The essential topological requirement is that the fields on a sphere surrounding the monopole mu…
