In the presence of a fixed prescribed background magnetic field we find an infinite number of fully three-dimensional solutions. These solutions are related to Hopf maps and are, therefore, labelled by the Hopf index. Further we discuss the interpretation of the background field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2000-01-25T11:52:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "chern-simons theory", "hopf instantons", "fixed prescribed background magnetic field", "infinite number", "hopf index" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
