We review the properties of BPS, or supersymmetric, magnetic monopoles, with an emphasis on their low-energy dynamics and their classical and quantum bound states. After an overview of magnetic monopoles, we discuss the BPS limit and its…
Dynamics of many supersymmetric monopoles are studied in the low energy approximation. A conjecture for the exact moduli space metric is given for all collections of fundamental monopoles of distinct type, and various partial confirmations…
We consider an extension of the Standard Model that was proposed recently by one of the current authors (PQH), which admits magnetic monopoles with a mass of order of a few TeV. We impose, in addition to topological quantization in the…
We consider the low-energy dynamics of a pair of distinct fundamental monopoles that arise in the $N=4$ supersymmetric $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory broken to $U(1)\times U(1)$. Both the long distance interactions and the short distance…
We start with a brief presentation of the Standard Model and the weak neutral current, in view of a discussion of parity-violation in electron-hadron electroweak interactions. We then discuss some limitations of this model, motivating the…
We study magnetic monopoles in a Lorentz- and CPT-odd electrodynamical framework in (3+1) dimensions. This is the standard Maxwell model extended by means of a Chern-Simons-like term, $b_\mu\tilde{F}^{\mu\nu}A_\nu$ ($b_\mu$ constant), which…
We consider an isolated electroweak monopole solution within the Standard Model with a non-linear Born-Infeld extension of the hypercharge gauge field. Monopole (and dyon) solutions in such an extension are regular and their masses are…
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…
Magnetic monopoles in Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with a non-abelian unbroken gauge group are classified by holomorphic charges in addition to the topological charges familiar from the abelian case. As a result the moduli spaces of monopoles of…
We discuss dyons, charge quantization and electric-magnetic duality for self-interacting, abelian, p-form theories in the spacetime dimensions D=2(p+1) where dyons can be present. The corresponding quantization conditions and duality…
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 aim of this note is to give a short and popular review of the ideas which led to my model of magnetic monopoles (hep-ph/9708394) and my prediction of the second kind of electromagnetic radiation. I will also point out the many and…
The effective Lagrangian of QED coupled to dyons is calculated. The resulting generalization of the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian contains non-linear P and T noninvariant terms corresponding to the virtual pair creation of dyons. The…
Electrically charged particles, such as the electron, are ubiquitous. By contrast, no elementary particles with a net magnetic charge have ever been observed, despite intensive and prolonged searches. We pursue an alternative strategy,…
We calculate the effect of magnetic fields on the magnetic dipole moment of leptons up to the quadratic order in the magnetic field, including the QCD contributions. Since the leading contribution, which is linear in the magnetic field,…
The Standard Model (SM) is the best description of fundamental particles and their interactions we have to date. From this theory, all phenomena in the macroscopic world (except for gravity) can be explained, and it has successfully…
The monopole systems with hidden symmetry of the two-dimensional Coulomb problem are considered. One of them, the "charge-charged magnetic vortex" with a half-spin, is constructed by reducing the quantum circular oscillator with respect to…
We derive parts of the monopole and dyon spectra for N=2 super-Yang--Mills theories in four dimensions with gauge groups G of rank r>1 and matter multiplets. Special emphasis is put on G=SU(3) and those matter contents that yield…
Electric dipole moments are extremely sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. A vibrant experimental program is in place, with the goal of improving existing bounds on the electron and neutron electric dipole moments by one…
We explore the phenomenology of a model of monopolium based on an electromagnetic dual formulation of Zwanziger and lattice gauge theory. The monopole is assumed to have a finite-sized inner structure based on a 't Hooft-Polyakov like…
