  A topological monopole-like field configuration exists for Yang-Mills gauge
fields in a 4+1 dimensions. When the extra dimension is compactified to 3+1
dimensions with periodic lattice boundary conditions, these objects reappear in
the low energy effective theory as a novel solution, a gauged-bosonic Skyrmion.
When the low energy theory spontaneously breaks, the Nambu-Goldstone mode
develops a VEV, and the gauged-bosonic Skyrmion morphs into a `t
Hooft--Polyakov monopole.
