Topological Quantization of the Magnetic Flux
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quantization of the magnetic flux in superconducting rings is studied in the frame of a topological model of electromagnetism that gives a topological formulation of electric charge quantization. It turns out that the model also embodies a topological mechanism for the quantization of the magnetic flux with the same relation between the fundamental units of magnetic charge and flux as there is between the Dirac monopole and the fluxoid.

TGD Based View about Classical Fields in Relation to Consciousness Theory and Quantum Biology
In TGD Universe gauge fields are replaced with topological field quanta. Examples are topological light rays, magnetic/electric flux tubes and sheets, and flux quanta carrying both magnetic and electric fields. Flux quanta form a fractal hierarchy in the sense that there are flux quanta inside flux quanta. It is natural to assume quantization of Kähler magnetic flux. Braiding and reconnection a...
متن کاملThe Thermodynamic Properties of Polarized Metallic Nanowire in the Presence of Magnetic Field
In this article, the second quantization method has been used to investigate some thermodynamic properties of spin-polarized metallic nanowire in the presence of magnetic field at zero temperature. We have been observed that in different magnetic field, the equilibrium energy of system increases as the density increases. The spin-polarization parameter corresponding to the equilibrium state of ...
متن کاملA New Description of Cosmic Strings in Brane World Scenario
In the light of φ-mapping topological current theory, the structure of cosmic strings are obtained from the Abelian Higgs model, which is an effective description to the brane world cosmic string system. In this topological description of the cosmic string, combining the result of decomposition of U(1) gauge potential, we analytically reach the familiar conclusions that in the brane world scena...
متن کاملElectric Confinement and Magnetic Superconductors
Reinterpretation of the pioneering work of Nielsen and Olesen and others on magnetic confinement in (electric) superconductors leads to simple models which exhibit electric confinement of the type hoped for in quantum chromodynamics. "Electric" flux tubes joining "quarks" arise at a semi-classical level as a result of the existence of (pseudo) particles. The theory can be described in terms of ...
متن کاملDiscrete Theta-Angles and Confinement
We study a topological field theory describing confining phases of gauge theories in four dimensions. It can be formulated on a lattice using a discrete 2-form field talking values in a finite abelian group (the magnetic gauge group). We show that possible theta-angles in such a theory are quantized and labeled by quadratic functions on the magnetic gauge group. When the theta-angles vanish, th...
