Three-cocycles, Nonassociative Gauge Transformations and Dirac's Monopole
arXiv:hep-th/0406073 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2004.06.024
Abstract
The relation between 3-cocycles arising in the Dirac monopole problem and nonassociative gauge transformations is studied. It is shown that nonassociative extension of the group U(1) allows to obtain a consistent theory of pointlike magnetic monopole with an arbitrary magnetic charge.
