Abstract

We calculate the electric charge at finite temperature $T$ for non-Abelian monopoles in spontaneously broken gauge theories with a CP violating $θ$ -term. A careful treatment of dyon's gauge degrees of freedom shows that Witten formula for the dyon charge at $T = 0$ , $Q = e (n - θ /2 π)$ , remains valid at $T \neq = 0$ .
