Posted Draft paper on Magnetic Monopoles, comments appreciated



Dear Friends at SPR:

Last summer I posted an eprint on magnetic monopoles at
http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0508257. I later posted a follow up at
http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0509223 which may, in part, account for the
NuTeV anomaly based on magnetic charges. This latter paper also
develops some interesting connections between magnetic monopoles and
chiral symmetry.

I have now attempted to consolidate the essential developments from both
of these arxiv papers into a much more condensed draft paper which is
posted in DRAFT form at
http://home.nycap.rr.com/jry/Papers/Magnetic%20Monopoles%202-16-06.pdf.
I am planning to submit this paper to a journal for peer review and
hopefully acceptance for publication, in the near future. So, I want to
get this is as good a shape as possible while keeping it brief and
focused, and of course, to identify any significant weaknesses which I
may be overlooking.

Would you be so kind as to take a look at the attached and give me your
comments and suggestions?

I also have one particular issue that I am thinking about at the moment:

This work makes use of two vector potentials: one for "electric" and one
for "magnetic" charges / currents (in the sense of the fields these
charges / currents have when interacting with a nearby test charge
absent relative motion between the charges).

I particularly want to make certain that my use of the Dirac
quantization condition (DQC) for such a "two-potential" theory can pass
muster. As it stands, the DQC is introduced, effectively, as a
hypothesis about the running strengths of the electric and magnetic
charges. I don't know of any reason why my use of the DQC in this way
would be ruled out, but want to be alerted if there is such a
possibility. Also, it would present a stronger case if it can be shown
that the DQC is actually compelled to be introduced here, rather than
simply being introduced as a hypothesis.

Of course, your comments on any and all aspects of the paper would be
welcomed and greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Jay R. Yablon
