Abstract: We consider the low-energy dynamics of a pair of distinct fundamental monopoles that arise in the N=4 supersymmetric SU(3) Yang-Mills theory broken to U(1)imesU(1). Both the long distance interactions and the short distance behavior indicate that the moduli space is R3imes(R1imescalM0)/Z where calM0 is the smooth Taub-NUT manifold, and we confirm this rigorously. By examining harmonic forms on the moduli space, we find a threshold bound state of two monopoles with a tower of BPS dyonic states built on it, as required by Montonen-Olive duality. We also present a conjecture for the metric of the moduli space for any number of distinct fundamental monopoles for an arbitrary gauge group.
