Abstract

We consider Dirac monopoles embedded into SU(N) gauge theory with theta-term for θ=4πM\theta = 4\pi M (where MM is half-integer for N=2N = 2 and is integer for N>2N>2). Due to the theta - term those monopoles obtain the SU(N) charge and become the dyons. They belong to different irreducible representations of SU(N) (but not to all of them). The admitted representations are enumerated. Their minimal rank increases with increasing of NN. The main result of the paper is the representation of the partition function of SU(N) model with theta-term (that contains singular gauge fields correspondent to the mentioned monopoles) as the vacuum average of the product of Wilson loops (considered along the monopole worldlines). This vacuum average should be calculated within the correspondent model without theta-term.
