Abstract
It has recently been shown that the non-linear Schrödinger (or NLS) equation arises as a dimensional reduction of the self-duality equations for an SU (2) pure gauge theory in (2+2) dimensions, dividing out by a null and a non-null translational Killing vector. In this paper it is indicated how the method used by Forgács et al. to construct the monopole solutions to the self-duality equations may be adapted to give the soliton solutions of the NLS equation.
