21. Note the difference between the gauge transformation matrix (Formula presented) and the corresponding matrix (Formula presented) which transforms the Higgs field of the charge-1 monopole into a constant. The former one is regular on the z axis (except at (Formula presented) whereas the latter one leads to singularities along the negative z axis.
