What could magnetic monopoles do that electrically charged particles can't?
I understand the significance to physics, but what can a magnetic monopole be used for assuming we could free them from spin ice and put them to work? What would be a magnetic version of electricity?

Does the existence of Higgs imply the existence of Magnetic Monopoles?
I am aware that in theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking, Magnetic Monopoles can exist as topological solitons. Can the same be done with the Standard Model gauge group. I am familiar with the ...

Magnetic monopole and electromagnetic field quantization procedure
From the Maxwell's equations point of view, existence of magnetic monopole leads to unsuitability of the introduction of vector potential as $\vec B = \operatorname{rot}\vec A$. As a result, it was ...

Do semiclassical GR and charge quantisation imply magnetic monopoles?
Assuming charge quantisation and semiclassical gravity, would the absence of magnetically charged black holes lead to a violation of locality, or some other inconsistency? If so, how?
(I am not ...

Does a rotating magnetic monopole have electric and magnetic moment in classical view?
Would a rotating sphere of magnetic monopole charge have electric moment ?
In a duality transformation E->B.c etc. how is the magnetic moment translated m = I.S -> ?
Mel = d/dt(-Qmag/c).S ?
A more ...

Does the universe appear to be a monopole to a ferromagnetic object within a solenoid?
Just what the title states, please.
To a ferromagnetic object placed at the centre of a solenoid (E.g. car-starter), does it appear that the universe around it is a monopole?
p.s. Preferably in ...

Limit of the scalar field, and potential for a soliton ( finite energy, non dissipative) solution
I want to prove that the the scalar field of the yang-mills lagrangian tends to some constant value which is a function of theta at infinity and that this value is a zero of the potential, when we ...

What is Higgs transition?
In recent publications there is a frequent mentioning of the so-called "Higgs transition" in connection with magnetic monoples. Can anybody please describe the phenomenon in simple terms?
For ...
