Abstract: | Dirac theory of magnetic poles is equivalent to a Maxwell electrodynamics in which besides the point singularities (electric charges), extended singularities (e.g. strings) occur. The nature of singularities determine completely the theory, hence Betti numbers of space must occur as quantum numbers. Magnetic charge is one of the fundamental periods of the 2-formF. |
