Eigenfunctions of total angular momentum for a charged vector field interacting with a magnetic monopole are constructed and their properties studied. In general, these eigenfunctions can be obtained by applying vector operators to the…
The Dirac method of quantizing Hamiltonian systems with constraints is applied to the massless Thirring model. We solve the quantum Hamiltonian equation for the energy-momentum tensor and obtain a violation of the classical conservation…
We establish the gravitational detectability of a Dirac monopole using a weak-field limit of general relativity, which can be developed from the Newtonian gravitational potential by including energy as a source. The resulting potential…
We show that some standard models of magnetic charge, the Banderet potential, the Dirac string potential, and the Wu-Yang fiber bundle approach, carry an electromagnetic field momentum in the presence of an electrostatic field. This…
It is well known that velocities does not commute in presence of an electromagnetic field. This property implies that angular algebra symmetries, such as the sO(3) and Lorentz algebra symmetries, are broken. To restore these angular…
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.
We consider full phase-space noncommutativity in the Dirac equation, and find that in order to preserve gauge invariance, configuration space noncommutativity must be dropped. The resulting space structure gives rise to a constant magnetic…
This article studies the breaking of the Lorentz symmetry at the Planck length in quantum mechanics. We use three-dimensional p-adic vectors as position variables, while the time remains a real number. In this setting, the Planck length is…
We present a "primitive" way of realizing finite-mass Dirac monopoles in $U(1)$ gauge theories involving a single non-minimally interacting scalar field. Typically, the energy density of this type of monopole is not concentrated at its…
In the present article we analyze the problem of a relativistic Dirac electron in the presence of a combination of a Coulomb field, a $1/r$ scalar potential as well as a Dirac magnetic monopole and an Aharonov-Bohm potential. Using the…
We study magnetic monopoles in a Lorentz- and CPT-odd electrodynamical framework in (3+1) dimensions. This is the standard Maxwell model extended by means of a Chern-Simons-like term, $b_\mu\tilde{F}^{\mu\nu}A_\nu$ ($b_\mu$ constant), which…
We study the quantum-classical correspondence in terms of coherent wave functions of a charged particle in two-dimensional central-scalar-potentials as well as the gauge field of a magnetic flux in the sense that the probability clouds of…
We present a comprehensive study of Parker-type bounds on magnetic monopoles with arbitrary magnetic charge, including minicharged monopoles and magnetic black holes. We derive the bounds based on the survival of galactic magnetic fields,…
We investigate the possibility of coexistence between Dirac-like monopoles and Lorentz-violating electrodynamics. For this purpose, we study three distinct models: Myers-Pospelov, Ellis et al. and Gambini-Pullin. In particular, we find that…
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…
We investigate topological vector potentials underlying the phases of nonlinear waves by performing Dirac's magnetic monopole theory in an extended complex plane, taking into account self-steepening effects while ignoring the usual cubic…
In the literature concerning the monopole matter, three gauges: Dirac, Schwinger, and Wu-Yang's, have been contrasted to each other, and the Wu-Yang's often appears as the most preferable one. The article aims to analyse this view by…
The present theory is closely related to Dirac's equation of the electron, but not to his magnetic monopole theory, except for his relation between electric and magnetic charge. The theory is based on the fact, that the massless Dirac…
The smooth topology change of Berry's phase from a Dirac monopole-like configuration to a dipole configuration, when one approaches the monopole position in the parameter space, is analyzed in an exactly solvable model. A novel aspect of…
The monopole systems with hidden symmetry of the two-dimensional Coulomb problem are considered. One of them, the "charge-charged magnetic vortex" with a half-spin, is constructed by reducing the quantum circular oscillator with respect to…
