Contribution

It presents a non-singular vector potential for the magnetic monopole and demonstrates how the Dirac quantization condition can be derived generally.

Findings

A non-singular vector potential for the monopole is constructed.

The Dirac quantization condition is shown to be derivable for any potential.

The approach offers a new way to understand monopole potentials.

Abstract

We propose a new vector potential for the Abelian magnetic monopole. The potential is non-singular in the entire region around the monopole. We argue how the Dirac quantization condition can be derived for any choice of potential.
