We give a simple derivation of the spectrum of the Dirac magnetic monopole on a unit sphere based on geometric quantization and the Frobenius reciprocity formula. We also briefly discuss the generalisations of Dirac magnetic monopole to any…
The Dirac quantization procedure of a magnetic monopole can be used to derive the coefficient of the D=3 Chern-Simons term through a self-consistency argument, which can be readily generalized to any odd D. This yields consistent and…

Magnetic monopoles have been a subject of interest since Dirac established the relation between the existence of monopoles and charge quantization. The Dirac quantization condition bestows the monopole with a huge magnetic charge. We study…
We present a new type of spherically symmetric monopole and dyon solutions with the magnetic charge $ 4\pi/e$ in the standard Weinberg-Salam model. The monopole (and dyon) could be interpreted as a non-trivial hybrid between the abelian…
We give a unifying description of the Dirac monopole on the 2-sphere $S^2$, of a graded monopole on a (2,2)-supersphere $S^{2,2}$ and of the BPST instanton on the 4-sphere $S^4$, by constructing a suitable global projector $p$ via…
The relation between 3-cocycles arising in the Dirac monopole problem and nonassociative gauge transformations is studied. It is shown that nonassociative extension of the group U(1) allows to obtain a consistent theory of pointlike…

The full ``classical" Dirac-Maxwell equations are considered under various simplifying assumptions. A reduction of the equations is performed in the case when the Dirac field is {\em static} and a further reduction is performed in the case…
The Dirac operator for a manifold Q, and its chirality operator when Q is even dimensional, have a central role in noncommutative geometry. We systematically develop the theory of this operator when Q=G/H, where G and H are compact…
Using the Dirac string formalism for monopoles we expose an extensive analogy between magnetic monopole excitations in the dumbbell model of spin ice and those of the vacuum. In both cases the Dirac strings are defined in the space-time of…
In this largely expository paper we give a self-contained treatment of the Dirac operator. Emphasizing the algebraic point of view we first sketch the necessary prerequisites from Clifford algebras and their representations and then define…
In this note we generalized the Dirac non-linear electrodynamics, by introducing two potentials (namely, the vector potential A and the pseudo-vector potential gamma^5 B of the electromagnetic theory with charges and magnetic monopoles) and…
Dirac-like monopoles are studied in three-dimensional Abelian Maxwell and Maxwell-Chern-Simons models. Their scalar nature is highlighted and discussed through a dimensional reduction of four-dimensional electrodynamics with electric and…
We use the Dirac operator method to prove a scalar-mean curvature comparison theorem for spin manifolds which carry iterated conical singularities. Our approach is to study the index theory of a twisted Dirac operator on such singular…
A self-contained study of monopole configurations of pure Yang-Mills theories and a discussion of their charges is carried out in the language of principal bundles. A n-dimensional monopole over the sphere S^n is a particular type of…
We describe the Dirac monopole using the Cheeger-Simons differential characters. We comment on the r\^{o}le of the Dirac string and on the connection with Deligne cohomology.
