| Hello to all:
|
| I wanted to let you know about my new paper just posted at
| http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0508257, titled Magnetic Monopoles and
Duality
| Symmetry Breaking in Maxwell's Electrodynamics.
|
| This paper summarizes the main direction of my research over these
past
| eight months.
|
| The abstract is as follows:
|
| It is shown how to break the symmetry of a Lagrangian with duality
symmetry
| between electric and magnetic monopoles, so that at low energy,
electric
| monopole interactions continue to be observed but magnetic monopole
| interactions become very highly suppressed to the point of effectively
| vanishing. The "zero-charge" problem of source-free electrodynamics is
| solved by requiring invariance under continuous, local, duality
| transformations, while local duality symmetry combined with local
U(1)_EM
| gauge symmetry leads naturally and surprisingly to an SU(2)_D duality
gauge
| group.
|
| I would be interested in any feedback, public or private, that you may
wish
| to provide.
|
| Sincerely,
|
| Jay R. Yablon

I would also like to point out that this paper predicts a super-heavy
magnetic vector boson in the low 2 TeV range. Maybe something worth
searching for at the new LHC.
