We show that attempts to modify the force on a magnetic dipole by introducing either hidden momentum or internal forces are not correct. The standard textbook result ${\bf F=\nabla(\bmu\cdot B)}$ is correct even in the presence of time…
The possibility of the magnetic monopole decay in the constant electric field is investigated and the exponential factor in the probability is obtained. Corrections due to Coulomb interaction are calculated. The relation between masses of…
The spontaneous breaking of $SO(10)$ via flipped $SU(5)$ to the Standard Model yields a novel scenario in which the superheavy topologically stable GUT monopole carrying a single unit ($2\pi/e$) of Dirac magnetic charge emerges from the…
The existence of magnetic monopoles is predicted by many theories of particle physics beyond the Standard Model. However, in spite of extensive searches, there is no experimental or observational sign of them. I review the role of magnetic…
The close connection of electricity and magnetism is one of the cornerstones of modern physics. This connection plays crucial role from the fundamental point of view and in practical applications, including spintronics and multiferroic…
The flux of angular momentum of electromagnetic field of an arbitrarily moving point charge is investigated. General equations are obtained for the transfer of angular momentum at arbitrary distance from the charge, and corresponding…
We investigate here the question raised in literature about the correct expression for the electromagnetic field-momentum, especially when static fields are involved. For this we examine a couple of simple but intriguing cases. First we…
Using a sheaf-theoretic extension of conventional principal bundle theory, the Dirac monopole is formulated as a spherically symmetric model free of singularities outside the origin such that the charge may assume arbitrary real values. For…
In Dirac materials, the low energy excitations obey the relativistic Dirac equation. This dependence implies that the electrons are exposed to strong spin-orbit coupling. Hence, real spin conservation is believed to be violated in Dirac…
We analyze the laws of conservation of momentum and angular momentum in classical electrodynamics of material media with bound charges, and explore the possibility to describe the properties of such media via a discrete set of point-like…
We present a manifestly Lorentz- and SO(2)-Duality-invariant local Quantum Field Theory of electric charges, Dirac magnetic monopoles and dyons. The manifest invariances are achieved by means of the PST-mechanism. The dynamics for classical…
For a spin-1/2 particle moving in a background magnetic field in noncommutative phase space, Dirac equation is solved when the particle is allowed to move off the plane that the magnetic field is perpendicular to. It is shown that the…
We consider a cylindrical metallic magnet that is set into rotation about a horizontal axis by a falling mass. In such a system the magnetic field will cause a radial current which is non-solenoidal. This leads to charge accumulation and a…
Brittin and Gamow have used quantum theory to predict that sunlight lowers the entropy level at the earth's surface, apparently contrary to the second law of thermodynamics. We have found that this requires new physics to explain it.…
We show that based on the general solution, given by Corrigan, Olive, Fairlie and Nuyts, in the region outside the monopole's core; the equations of motion in the Higgs vacuum (i.e. outside the monopole's core) will not allow asymptotically…
We develop a quaternionic electrodynamics and show that it naturally supports the existence of magnetic monopoles. We obtained the field equations, the continuity equation, the electrodynamic force law, the Poynting vector, the energy…
We use the $SU(5)$ model to show the presence in grand unified theories of an electroweak monopole and a magnetic dumbbell ("meson") made up of a monopole-antimonopole pair connected by a $Z$-magnetic flux tube. The monopole is associated…
A simple model of chiral asymmetry is proposed to interpret the origin of the strong toroidal magnetic field. The electrons relevant to dynamics forming the the field are in a quantume degenerate state with ultra-relativistic Fermi energy.…
This work is based on a paper with Margaret James, to appear in Phys Rev D. In it we showed that the dipole moment of the sphaleron has its origin in two components: a ring of electric current circulating around the edge of the sphaleron;…
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.
