This is a paper with the aim of give the student a detailed calculation of magnetic monopole's Dirac theory.
The kinematical formalism for describing spinning particles developped by the author is based upon the idea that an elementary particle is a physical system with no excited states. It can be annihilated by the interaction with its…
The Bohr-van Leeuwen theorem is often summarized as saying that there is no classical magnetic susceptibility, in particular no diamagnetism. This is seriously misleading. The theorem assumes position dependent interactions but this is not…
The formulation of a generalized classical electromagnetism that includes both electric and magnetic charges, is explored in the framework of two potential approach. It is shown that it is possible to write an action integral from which one…
The classical theory of electrodynamics cannot explain the existence and structure of electric and magnetic dipoles, yet it incorporates such dipoles into its fundamental equations, simply by postulating their existence and properties, just…
In the Aharonov-Bohm setup, a double-slit experiment, when a long but thin solenoid of current is introduced between the two coherent beams of electrons behind the slits, an extra phase difference between the interfering beams appears, as…
We present a new type of spherically symmetric monopole and dyon solutions with the magnetic charge $ 4\pi/e$ in the standard Weinberg-Salam model. The monopole (and dyon) could be interpreted as a non-trivial hybrid between the abelian…
Most nonabelian gauge theories admit the existence of conserved and quantized topological charges as generalizations of the Dirac monopole. Their interactions are dictated by topology. In this paper, previous work in deriving classical…
The Dirac equation for an electron in a finite dipole potential has been studied within the method of linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO). The Coulomb potential of the nuclei that compose a dipole is regularized, by considering the…
We discuss that the singularities appearing in Dirac's formulation of magnetic monopoles are due to the set of fields which he used and not due to the physical properties of magnetic monopoles. We explain in detail that we can find the same…
For a monopole, the analogue of the Lorentz equation in matter is shown to be f = g (H - v cross D). Dual-symmetric Maxwell equations, for matter containing hidden magnetic charges in addition to electric ones, are given. They apply as well…
The attractive gravitational force between two electrons in superconductors is deduced from the Eddington-Dirac large number relation, together with Beck and Mackey electromagnetic model of vacuum energy in superconductors. This force is…
We develop the quantum field theory of electron-point magnetic monopole interactions and more generally, dyon-dyon interactions, based on the original string-dependent ``nonlocal'' action of Dirac and Schwinger. We demonstrate that a viable…
We discuss the Aharonov-Bohm ($A-B$) effect and the Dirac ($D$) monopole of magnetic charge $g={{1}\over{2}}$ in the context of bundle theory, exhibiting a purely geometric relation between them. If $\xi_{A-B}$ and $\xi_D$ are the…
It has long been known that in the absence of electric charges and currents, Maxwell's electromagnetism in 4 dimensional vacuum Minkowski space-time is invariant under SO(2) dual transformations that mix its electric and magnetic fields.…
A method is proposed for generalizing the Euclidean Taub-NUT space, regarded as the appropriate background of the Dirac magnetic monopole, to non-Abelian Kaluza-Klein theories involving potentials of generalized monopoles. Usual geometrical…
Inspired by the geometrical methods allowing the introduction of mechanical systems confined in the plane and endowed with exotic galilean symmetry, we resort to the Lagrange-Souriau 2-form formalism, in order to look for a wide class of 3D…
We study Coulomb drag in double-layer graphene near the Dirac point. A particular emphasis is put on the case of clean graphene, with transport properties dominated by the electron-electron interaction. Using the quantum kinetic equation…

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.
