The Quantisation of Charges

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The question as to whether the integrality of the spectrum of observed electric charges is due to a quantum effext has fascinated theoretical physicists throughout the last century. It leads to unanswered questions at the heart of quantum field theory and its role as a framework for particle physics.
