Theory of Dirac monopoles with a non-Abelian symmetry

· Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
From the viewpoint of a global formulation of Yang-Mills fields, a Lagrangian theory of non-Abelian classical Dirac monopoles is proposed. Dirac strings are used instead of coordinate patches; they are defined as purely geometric constructs. The formalism is free from pathologies such as ''Dirac's veto.'' While the analysis focuses on the gauge group SU(N)/Z/sub N/ allowing for only N - 1 nontrivial and topologically distinct types of monopoles, it applies in general to any compact Lie group.
