Phys. Rev. D 14, 2016–2022 (1976)SU(3) magnetic monopolesReceived 8 June 1976; published in the issue dated 15 October 1976 We obtain the simplest examples of monopole solutions in an SU(3) gauge theory, corresponding to the generators of the homotopy groups π2(G/H). These monopoles are characterized either by two Abelian magnetic charges when the residual symmetry group H is U(1) × U(1) or by combined Abelian and non-Abelian magnetic charges when the residual symmetry group is U(2). The magnetic charges do not always satisfy the Dirac quantization condition, but do satisfy a generalized "quantization" condition. © 1976 The American Physical Society URL:
