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.…

We enlarge the local gauge invariance of QED from $~U(1)_A~$ to $~U(1)_A \times U(1)_{\Theta}~$ by introducing another unphysical pure gauge field $~\Theta~$ with an independent, unphysical gauge coupling $~\tilde{e}~$. This pure gauge…
