Chandrasekhar Chatterjee, Indrajit Mitra, H.S.Sharatchandra
TL;DR
This paper develops a duality-based theoretical framework for electric and magnetic charges, extending Dirac, Schwinger, and Zwanziger theories, and explores their interactions and gauge configurations in different dimensions.
Contribution
It introduces a two-potential theory of electric and magnetic charges using duality transformations, including a Euclidean space analog with magnetic charges and electric currents.
Findings
Derived Dirac, Schwinger, Zwanziger theories via duality transformation.
Extended the framework to three Euclidean dimensions with magnetic charges.
Highlighted the role of Dirac strings as dislocations in gauge potential configurations.
Abstract
Dirac, Schwinger and Zwanziger theories of electric and magnetic charges are obtained via duality transformation. Analogous construction for three Euclidean dimensions, with magnetic charges interacting with electric currents, is also done. The role of Dirac strings as dislocations in the configurations of gauge potential is emphasized.
