The method of quantization of magnetic monopoles based on the order-disorder duality existing between the monopole operator and the lagrangian fields is applied to the description of the quantum magnetic monopoles of ‘t Hooft and Polyakov in the SO(3) Georgi-Glashow model. The commutator of the monopole operator with the magnetic charge is computed explicitly, indicating that indeed the quantum...

The motion of a one-dimensional kink and its energy losses are considered as a model of interaction of nontrivial topological field configurations with external fields. The approach is based on the calculation of the zero modes excitation probability in the external field. We study in the same way the interaction of the t’Hooft–Polyakov monopole with weak external fields. The basic idea is to t...

A Lagrangian formulation describing the electromagnetic interaction mediated by topologically massive vector bosons between charged, spin1 2 fermions with an abelian magnetic monopole in a curved spacetime with non-minimal coupling and torsion potential is presented. The covariant field equations are obtained. The issue of coexistence of massive photons and magnetic monopoles is addressed in th...

We prove Abelian magnetic monopole dominance in the string tension of QCD. Abelian and monopole dominance in low energy physics of QCD has been confirmed for various quantities by recent Monte Carlo simulations of lattice gauge theory. In order to prove this dominance, we use the reformulation of continuum Yang-Mills theory in the maximal Abelian gauge as a deformation of a topological field th...

We present simulations of one magnetic monopole interacting with multiple singularities. Three-dimensional plots the energy density are constructed from explicit solutions to Bogomolny equation obtained by Blair, Cherkis, and Durcan. Animations follow trajectories derived collective coordinate mechanics on multi-centered Taub--NUT moduli space. supplement our numerical results a complete analyt...

Dirac showed that the existence of one magnetic pole in the universe could offer an explanation of the discrete nature of the electric charge. Magnetic poles appear naturally in most Grand Unified Theories. Their discovery would be of greatest importance for particle physics and cosmology. The intense experimental search carried thus far has not met with success. I propose a Universe with magne...
