Axial Monopoles, The Quantization of Electric Charge and a Dynamical Discreteness of Space-Time

TL;DR

This paper proposes that incorporating a conserved axial current into electrodynamics explains electric charge quantization and introduces a dynamic, discrete structure to space-time, all while maintaining parity conservation.

Contribution

It introduces a conserved axial current into electrodynamics to account for charge quantization and space-time discreteness without violating parity.

Findings

Electric charge quantization can be explained via axial currents.

A dynamical discreteness of space-time emerges from the theory.

Parity conservation is preserved in this framework.

Abstract

In the present contribution we show that the introduction of a conserved axial current in electrodynamics can explain the quantization of electric charge, preserving parity conservation, and introduces a dynamical discreteness into space-time.
