We consider the behavior of level lines of two-dimensional potentials, which play an important role in the physics of ``two-layer'' systems. Potentials of this type are quasiperiodic and, at the same time, can also be considered as a model…
A solution is proposed for finding the vector potential and magnetic field of any distribution of currents with axial symmetry. In this approach, the magnetic field and the vector potential are looked for not by solving a differential…
We revisit the Dirac quantization condition for string-like and string-less (but multi-valued) magnetic monopole potentials. In doing so we allow for an {\it a priori} different coupling ${\tilde e}$ associated with the longitudinal…
In this paper, we investigate the existence of a finite number of vortex patches for the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic (gSQG) equations with $\alpha \in [1,2)$, focusing on configurations that may rotate uniformly, translate, or…
We establish lower semi-continuity and strict convexity of the energy functionals for a large class of vector equilibrium problems in logarithmic potential theory. This in particular implies the existence and uniqueness of a minimizer for…
A resolution over the existence of magnetic charges has eluded the high energy physics community for centuries, and their search has gained momentum as recent models predict these may be observable at current colliders. They appear in field…
Unified theories of strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions which have electric charge quantization predict the existence of topologically stable magnetic monopoles. Intermediate scale monopoles are comparable with detection energies…

We consider the Dirac operator with a periodic potential on the half-line with the Dirichlet boundary condition at zero. Its spectrum consists of an absolutely continuous part plus at most one eigenvalue in each open gap. The Dirac…
Dual electrodynamics and corresponding Maxwell's equations (in the presence of monopole only) are revisited from the symmetry of duality and gauge invariance. Accordingly, the manifestly covariant, dual symmetric and gauge invariant two…
The rigorous two-center approach based on the dual-kinetically balanced finite-basis-set expansion is applied to one-electron, heteronuclear diatomic Bi-Au, U-Pb, and Cf-U quasimolecules. The obtained $1\sigma$ ground-state energies are…
Aspects of three dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories with monopole superpotentials and their dualities are investigated. The moduli spaces of a number of such theories are studied using Hilbert series. Moreover, we propose new…
A Poisson-Boltzmann approach is used to determine the double-layer integral and differential capacitances in a finite-length situation for an electrolytic cell. By means of simple analytical calculations, it is shown how these quantities…
It is well known that one cannot construct a self-consistent quantum field theory describing the non-relativistic electromagnetic interaction mediated by massive photons between a point-like electric charge and a magnetic monopole. We show…
In undergraduate classes, the potential flow that goes around a circular cylinder is designed for complemental understanding of mathematical technique to handle the Laplace equation with Neumann boundary conditions and the physical concept…
We analyze the role played by the gauge invariance for the existence of Dirac monopole. To this end, we consider the electrodynamics with massive photon and ask if the magnetic charge can be introduced there. We show that the derivation of…
Density (or state) dependent pair potentials arise naturally from coarse-graining procedures in many areas of condensed matter science. However, correctly using them to calculate physical properties of interest is subtle and cannot be…
We present a deformed star-product for a particle in the presence of a magnetic monopole. The product is obtained within a self-dual quantization-dequantization scheme, with the correspondence between classical observables and operators…
Dirac demonstrated that the existence of a single magnetic monopole in the universe could explain the discrete nature of electric charge. Magnetic monopoles naturally arise in most grand unified theories. However, the extensive experimental…
We considered the lattice electroweak theory at realistic values of $\alpha$ and $\theta_W$ and for large values of the Higgs mass. We investigated numerically the properties of topological objects that are identified with quantum Nambu…
