A magnetic monopole is a hypothetical particle with only one magnetic pole. Their magnetic fields would not be divergence-less. Predicted by certain modern theories, including string theory, supergravity, and various popular grand unified theories.

Can the Dirac quantization condition be derived within Lev Vaidman's formalism without gauge...
Textbooks often claim that phenomena like the Aharonov-Bohm effect require that any local formulation of quantum gauge theory use gauge potential fields. (It's also sometimes claimed that the A-B effe …

Which charge to use in the Dirac quantization condition?
I have a follow-up question to Dirac magnetic monopoles and quark fractional electric charge quantization, regarding whether the "unit of electric charge" in the Dirac quantization condition should be …

Is there either a Lagrangian or a Hamiltonian formulation of electromagnetism with continuou...
Maxwell's equations generalize very nicely if we add in magnetic monopoles: we get
$$\begin{align*}
\partial_\mu F^{\mu \nu} &= J^\nu \\
\partial_\mu \tilde{F}^{\mu \nu} &= \tilde{J}^\nu,
\end{align*} …

Why isn't Dirac credited with the discovery of the Aharonov-Bohm effect?
Above equation (8) of Dirac's famous 1931 paper in which he proposes his quantization condition for magnetic monopoles, he says "the change in [an electron's] phase around [a] closed curve [is] $2 \pi …
