Abstract:We show that there is room, in the Dirac equation, for a massless monopole. The basic idea is that the Dirac equation admits a second electromagnetic minimal coupling associated to the chiral gauge 
$$e^{i\gamma _5 \theta }$$
, which is only valid for a massless particle, but satisfies all the symmetry laws of a monopole. In the problem of the diffusion on a central electric field, we find the Poincaré integral and the Dirac relationeg/hstrok=n/2. The latter is deduced as a consequence of the fact (which is shown in this paper) thateg/c is the projection of the total angular momentum on the symmetry axis of the system formed by the monopole and the electric charge. Another important property is that a monopole and an antimonopole have opposite helicities (as for the neutrino), but do not have opposite charges: this precludes a vacuum magnetic polarization which would be analogous to the electric one, but allows us to imagine an aether made up of monopole-antimonopole pairs. The theory is then generalized on the basis of a nonlinear equation which is the most general invariant equation under the chiral gauge law. This equation admits solutions corresponding to massive monopoles, among which there are bradyons (i.e., ordinary massive particles) and tachyons. This equation is shown to be closely related to previous works initiated by Hermann Weyl, on Dirac's theory in the framework of general relativity. In conclusion, it is suggested that massless monopoles are perhaps excited states of the neutrino and that they may be produced in some weak interactions. Consequences on the solar activity are considered.
