We prove that magnetic charge does not exist as a physical observable on the physical Hilbert space of the pure SU(2) gauge theory. The abelian magnetic monopoles seen in lattice simulations are then interpreted as artifacts of gauge…

It is shown that it follows from our model of the electron that its magnetic moment has an anomalous part if the magnetic field energy is taken into account. That means that the magnetic moment of our model of the electron is 1.0000565…

Treating the electron as a charged spinon we propose a theory of magnon spintronics, a non-Abelian gauge theory of SU(2)xU(1), which could be viewed as an effective theory of electron spintronics. Just like QED the theory has the U(1)…
