Uniton bundles : parametrizing harmonic two-spheres in a unitary group by holomorphic vector bundles

We show that a twistor construction of Hitchin and Ward can be adapted to study unitons (harmonic spheres in a unitary group). Specifically, we show that unitons are equivalent to holomorphic bundles with extra structure over a rational ruled surface. This equivalence allows us to confirm the conjec...
