There is good evidence that full general relativity is non-integrable or even chaotic. We point out the severe repercussions: differentiable Dirac observables and a reduced phase space do not exist in non-integrable constrained systems and…

It is shown that a photon with a specific frequency can be identified with the Dirac magnetic monopole. When a Dirac-Wilson line forms a Dirac-Wilson loop, it is a photon. This loop model of photon is exactly solvable. From the winding…

Dirac equation for a charged particle in static electromagnetic field is written for special cases of spherically symmetric potentials. Besides the well known Dirac-Coulomb and Dirac-Oscillator potentials, we obtain a relativistic version…

We introduce the magnetic angular momentum as a consequence of the structure of the sO(3) Lie algebra defined by the Feynman brackets. The Poincare momentum and Dirac magnetic monopole appears as a direct result of this framework.

Dirac's quantization condition, $eg=n/2$ ($n \in \Bbb Z$), and Schwinger's quantization condition, $eg=n$ ($n \in \Bbb Z$), for an electric charge $e$ and a magnetic charge $g$ are derived by utilizing the Atiyah-Singer index theorem in two…

Starting with the Dirac equation for an electron in a constant electromagnetic background on a noncommutative (NC) plane, we obtain a gauge invariant description of the system. Surprisingly, the dynamics of the system is dictated by the…

We study the deformation quantisation (Moyal quantisation) of general constrained Hamiltonian systems. It is shown how second class constraints can be turned into first class quantum constraints. This is illustrated by the O(N) non-linear…

We extend recent discussions about the effect of nonzero temperature on the induced electric charge, due to CP violation, of a Dirac or an 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole. In particular, we determine the fractional electric charge of a very…

A numerical study of static spherically symmetric monople solutions of a spontaneously broken SU(2) gauge theory coupled to a dilaton field is presented. Regular solutions seem to exist only up to a maximal value of the dilaton coupling. In…

The magnetic moment and vanishing charge of a Dirac neutrino are physically observable quantities and must not depend on the choice of gauge in a consistent quantum field theory. We verify this statement explicitly at the one loop level in…
