One of the basic properties of magnetism is that a magnet has always two poles, north and south, which cannot be separated into isolated poles, the magnetic monopoles. There are strong theoretical arguments in favour of monopoles'…
Dirac showed that the existence of one magnetic pole in the universe could offer an explanation for the discrete nature of the electric charge. Magnetic poles appear naturally in most Grand Unified Theories. Their discovery would be of…

It is proposed that Magnetic Monopoles (MMs) could originate from a new $\mbox{U(1)}_{M}$ symmetry. Such an abelian symmetry is then assumed to be related to the conservation of a magnetic number $M$. This magnetic number is associated with…
The possibility of the existence of magnetic charges is one of the greatest unsolved issues of the physics of this century. The concept of magnetic monopoles has at least two attractive features: (i) Electric and magnetic fields can be…
In this paper, we argue that the elusive magnetic monopole arises due to the strong magnetic effects arising from the non commutative space time structure at small scales.If this structure is ignored and we work with Minkowski spacetime,…
It is argued that in magnetoelectrics with diagonal magnetoelectric coupling there should be a monopole-like distribution of magnetization around electric charge. It may lead to nontrivial transport properties of such materials, to…
Theory of pointlike magnetic monopole with an arbitrary magnetic charge is considered. It is shown that a proper description requires making use of nonunitary representations of the rotation group and the nonassociative generalization of…
We investigate the factuality of the hypothetical magnetic monopole and the nature of the static magnetic field. It is shown from many aspects that the concept of the massive magnetic monopoles clearly is physically untrue. We argue that…
