Stimulated by a scholium in Newton's Principia we find some beautiful results in classical mechanics which can be interpreted in terms of the orbits in the field of a mass endowed with a gravomagnetic monopole. All the orbits lie on cones!…
The discontinuities of electromagnetic test fields generated by general layers of electric and magnetic monopoles and dipoles are investigated in general curved spacetimes. The equivalence of electric currents and magnetic dipoles is…
We compute one-loop effective action of magnetic monopole in three-dimensional electrodynamics of massless bosons and fermions and find that it contains an infrared logarithm. So, when the number of massless matter species is sufficiently…
We review constraints on the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) coming from direct searches at accelerators such as LEP, indirect measurements such as b -> s gamma decay and the anomalous magnetic moment of the…
Following the line of the history, if by one side the electromagnetic theory was consolidated on the 19th century, the emergence of the special and the general relativity theories on the 20th century opened possibilities of further…
The magnetic charges of monopoles arising in ultraviolet completions of the Standard Model are constrained by the global structure of the gauge group. After electroweak symmetry breaking, a subset of the ultraviolet monopoles carrying…
A number of attempts have recently been made to extend the conjectured $S$ duality of Yang Mills theory to gravity. Central to these speculations has been the belief that electrically and magnetically charged black holes, the solitons of…
We introduce a topological field theory with a Bogomol'nyi structure permitting BPS electric, magnetic and dyonic monopoles. From the general arguments given by Montonen and Olive the particle spectrum and mass compare favourably with that…
It is shown that a magnetic monopole appears as the tension state of the primary electric charge at its motion through each section of the path equal to the particle's de Broglie wavelength. This conclusion is followed from a submicroscopic…
I review how various extensions of the Standard Model, in particular supersymmetry and extra neutral gauge bosons, may affect low energy observables, including parity-violating electron scattering and related observables, as well as…
We determine the low energy dynamics of monopoles in pure N=2 Yang-Mills theories for points in the vacuum moduli space where the two Higgs fields are not aligned. The dynamics is governed by a supersymmetric quantum mechanics with…
Dyon loops give a contribution to the matrix element for light-by-light scattering that violates parity and time-reversal symmetry. This effect induces an electric dipole moment for the electron, of order $M^{-2}$, where $M$ is the dyon…
The magnetic dipole interaction played a central role in the development of QED, and continued in that role for the Standard Model. The muon anomalous magnetic moment has served as a benchmark for models of new physics, and the present…
The electric dipole moments (EDMs) of the neutron and the electron are reviewed within the framework of the supersymmetric standard model (SSM) based on grand unified theories coupled to N=1 supergravity. Taking into account one-loop and…
We present simulations of one magnetic monopole interacting with multiple magnetic singularities. Three-dimensional plots of the energy density are constructed from explicit solutions to the Bogomolny equation obtained by Blair, Cherkis,…
We construct a model in which stable magnetic monopoles have magnetic charges that are identical to the electric charges on leptons and quarks and the colored monopoles are confined by strings in color singlets.
In order to satisfy the symmetry between electric and magnetic fields in the source free Maxwell's equations, electric charges might have magnetic counterparts: magnetic monopoles. Many methods and techniques are proposed to search for the…
Universal extra dimensions, presumably observable at some high-energy scale, would modify low-energy observables, being particularly relevant for physical processes forbidden at tree level by the Standard Model. We address the Kaluza-Klein…
In cosmological scenarios based on grand unification, string theory or braneworlds, many kinds of topological or non-topological defects, including monopoles and cosmic strings, are predicted to be formed in the early universe. Here we…
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…
