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 present a model for the Dirac magnetic monopole, suitable for the strong coupling regime. The magnetic monopole is static, has charge g and mass M, occupying a volume of radius R ~ O (g^2/M). It is shown that inside each n-monopole there…

Magnetic monopoles are known to emerge as leading non-perturbative fluctuations in the lattice version of non-Abelian gauge theories in some gauges. In terms of the Dirac quantization condition, these monopoles have magnetic charge |Q_M|=2.…

Magnetic Monopole is a cosequence of the existence of the duality symmetry in electromagnetics. Although, no conclusive experimental evidence have so far been found but the subject is still of much interest to physicist. The theory of…

We consider Dirac monopoles embedded into SU(N) gauge theory with theta-term for $\theta = 4\pi M $ (where $M$ is half-integer for $N = 2$ and is integer for $N>2$). Due to the theta - term those monopoles obtain the SU(N) charge and become…

We present a gauge and Lorentz invariant model for the scattering of matter off magnetic poles, which justifies the presence of velocity-dependent magnetic charges as an effective description of either the behaviour of monopoles in…

The present theory is based on the assumption that at the very small (Planck scale) distances our space-time is discrete, and this discreteness influences on the Planck scale physics. Considering our (3+1)-dimensional space-time as a…
