Magnetic Charge Theory Part 4: Fermion Angular Momentum

Restrictions on Magnetic Charge from Quantized Angular Momentum

Using the result that an electric charge-magnetic charge system carries an internal field angular momentum of eg/4π we arrive at two restrictions on magnetic monopoles via the requirement of angular momentum quantization and/or conservation. First we show that magnetic charge should scale in the opposite way from electric charge. Second we show that free, unconfined monopoles seem to be inconsi...

Chapter 8 Angular Momentum , Part II

In the Chapter 7, we discussed situations where the direction of the vector L remains constant, and only its magnitude changes. In this chapter, we will look at the more complicated situations where the direction of L is allowed to change. The vector nature of L will prove to be vital, and we will arrive at all sorts of strange results for spinning tops and such things. This chapter is rather l...

Electromagnetic Field Angular Momentum of a Charge at Rest in a Uniform Magnetic Field

in Gaussian units, where is the electric charge density, A is the magnetic vector potential (where ∇ ·A = 0 for static fields in both the Coulomb and Lorenz gauges), E is the electric field, B is the magnetic field, V is the electric scalar potential, and J is the electric current density. The first form is due to Faraday [4] and Maxwell [5]; the second form is due to Poynting [6] as elaborated...

angular-momentum, and charge inequalities for axisymmetric initial data

We present the key elements of the proof of an upper bound for angular-momentum and charge in terms of the mass for electro-vacuum asymptotically flat axisymmetric initial data sets with simply connected orbit space.
