Abstract
We study BPS monopoles in four-dimensional (Formula presented) (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) super-Yang-Mills theories realized as the low-energy effective theory of (Formula presented) (physical and its mirror) parallel D3-branes and an orientifold 3-plane with D1-branes stretched between them in type-IIB string theory. Monopoles on D3-branes give a natural understanding by embedding in (Formula presented) through the constraints on both the asymptotic Higgs field (corresponding to the horizontal positions of D3-branes) and the magnetic charges (corresponding to the number of D1-branes) imposed by the O3-plane. The compatibility conditions of Nahm data for monopoles for these groups can be interpreted very naturally through the D1-branes in the presence of the O3-plane.
