We consider the magnetic Dirac operator on a curved strip whose boundary carries the infinite mass boundary condition. When the magnetic field is large, we provide the reader with accurate estimates of the essential and discrete spectra. In…
The standard model has the electroweak monopole which has the magnetic charge $4\pi/e$, as a hybrid between the Dirac and 'tHooft-Polyakov monopoles. We argue that it may have new type of monopoles, in particular the neutral monopole (``the…
There suggested a modification of the Dirac electron theory, eliminating its mathematical incompleteness. The modified Dirac electron, called dual, is described by two waves, one of which is the Dirac wave and the second dynamically…
Magnetic monopoles are hypothesised elementary particles connected by Dirac strings that behave like infinitely thin solenoids. Despite decades of searches, free magnetic monopoles and their Dirac strings have eluded experimental detection,…
We quantize the electromagnetic field in the presence of a static magnetic monopole, within the loop-representation formalism. We find that the loop-dependent wave functional becomes multivalued, in the sense that it acquires a dependence…
I study the internal structure of the Dirac magnetic monopole in a deconstructed $U(1)$ gauge theory. The deconstructed $U(1)$ gauge theory has a product $U(1)^N$ gauge group, which breaks down to the diagonal $U(1)_{\mathrm{diag}}$ gauge…
A regular charge-monopole theory is derived from simple and self-evident postulates. It is shown that this theory provides explanations for effects of strong and nuclear interactions. The theory is compared with Dirac's monopole theory.…
The number and the location of monopoles in Lattice configurations depend on the choice of the gauge, in contrast to the obvious requirement that monopoles, as physical objects, have a gauge-invariant status. It is proved, starting from…
Dirac monopoles have been widely studied and searched, though never found. A way out of this impasse is the idea that monopoles are not seen freely because they are confined by their strong magnetic forces forming a monopole-antimonopole…
We consider the motion of charged particles in the presence of a Dirac magnetic monopole. We use an extension of Noether's theorem for systems with magnetic forces and integrate explicitly the equations of motion.
The placement of a magnetic monopole into an electrically-neutral chiral plasma with a non-zero axial density results in an electric polarization of the matter. The electric current produced by the chiral magnetic effect is balanced by…
There exist several types of monopole - like topological defects in Electroweak theory. We investigate properties of these objects using lattice numerical methods. The intimate connection between them and the dynamics of the theory is…
Undistorted monolayer graphene has energy bands which cross at protected Dirac points. It elastically deforms and much research has assumed the Dirac description persists, now in a curved space and coupled to a gauge field related to…
The proof of the stability of matter is three decades old, but the question of stability when arbitrarily large magnetic fields are taken into account was settled only recently. Even more recent is the solution to the question of the…
In the grand tapestry of Physics, the magnetic monopole is a holy grail. Therefore, numerous efforts are underway in search of this hypothetical particle at CMS, ATLAS and MoEDAL experiments of LHC by employing different production…
The Tevatron has inspired new interest in the subject of magnetic monopoles. First there was the 1998 D0 limit on the virtual production of monopoles, based on the theory of Ginzberg and collaborators. In 2000 the first results from an…
The charges of magnetic monopoles are constrained to a multiple of $2\pi$ times the inverse of the elementary unit electric charge. In the standard model, quarks have fractional charge, raising the question of whether the basic magnetic…
An explicit form of the magnetic moment tensor operator for non-Dirac particles with rest spin 1/2 and its essential difference from the spin operator are established. Possible consequences of the last fact for the description of the spin…
The author argues that the Dirac quantization condition might imply the existence of an undiscovered electromagnetic structure which governs the quantization of the electric charge and the quantization of the magnetic flux in the…
It is shown that the non-commutative three-sphere introduced by Matsumoto is a total space of the quantum Hopf bundle over the classical two-sphere. A canonical connection is constructed, and is shown to coincide with the standard Dirac…
