Title: Magnetic monopole with Wilson-loop symmetry breaking

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

A nonsingular classical magnetic-monopole solution is obtained in a theory with Wilson-loop symmetry breaking. The solution is used to elucidate the quantization rules governing the magnetic charge, which are more restrictive than those for Higgs monopoles.
