Three-cocycles, Nonassociative Gauge Transformations and Dirac’s Monopole
In 1931 Dirac [1] introduced a magnetic monopole into the quantum mechanics and found a quantization relation between an electric charge e and magnetic charge q, 2μ = n, n ∈ Z, where μ = eq, and ~ = c = 1. One of the widely accepted proofs of the Dirac selection rule is based on group representation theory (see, for example, [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]). In the presence of the magnetic monopole the operato...
متن کاملSingular gauge transformations in string field theory
We show that the existence of a tachyon vacuum puts tight restrictions on the form of solutions to the equations of motion of string field theory. In particular, we demonstrate that every solution can be written as a – formal – gauge transformation of the tachyon vacuum. In order for a solution to be non-trivial, this gauge transformation must be singular and we argue that this will happen when...
متن کاملVortex Structure vs. Monopole Dominance in Abelian-Projected Gauge Theory
We find that Polyakov lines, computed in abelian-projected SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the confined phase, have finite expectation values for lines corresponding to two units of the abelian electric charge. This means that the abelian-projected lattice has at most Z2, rather than U(1), global symmetry. We also find a severe breakdown of the monopole dominance approximation, as well as positiv...
متن کاملMonopole-antimonopole and Vortex Rings
The SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory supports the existence of monopoles, antimonopoles, and vortex rings. In this paper, we would like to present new exact static antimonopole-monopole-antimonopole (A-M-A) configurations. The net magnetic charge of these configurations is always negative one, whilst the net magnetic charge at the origin is always positive one for all positive integer values of th...
متن کاملProperties of P - vortex and monopole clusters in lattice SU ( 2 ) gauge theory
We study the action and geometry of P-vortices, discriminating between the percolating and finite clusters. We also discuss the interrelation of the monopoles and P-vortices. To define P-vortices we use both the direct maximal center projection and indirect maximal center projection. We find, in particular, that the action density of the P-vortices in short clusters is substantially higher than...
