Tree-Level Factorization Obstruction in Monopole Production

Hsing-Yi Lai, John Terning

We show that the tree-level amplitude for producing a monopole--antimonopole pair from an electrically charged pair cannot be constructed from the minimal one-photon couplings. Glu…

Non-invertible Chiral Symmetry and Axions under Electromagnetic Duality

Gongjun Choi, Tony Gherghetta, John Terning

We study the implications of non-invertible chiral symmetry in a four-dimensional U(1) gauge theory coupled to massless fermions with electromagnetic duality. Th…

Geometrizing the Anomaly

Joshua Newey, John Terning, Christopher B. Verhaaren

Recently a manifestly gauge invariant formalism for calculating amplitudes in quantum electrodynamics was outlined in which the field strength, rather than the gauge potential, is…

The Seiberg-Witten Axion

Csaba Csáki, Rotem Ovadia, Maximilian Ruhdorfer +2

We present a fully calculable UV complete toy model of a Peccei-Quinn (PQ) axion coupled to magnetic monopoles as well as electric charges. The theory has manifest electric-magneti…

Schwinger vs Coleman: Magnetic Charge Renormalization

Joshua Newey, John Terning, Christopher B. Verhaaren

The kinetic mixing of two U(1) gauge theories can result in a massless photon that has perturbative couplings to both electric and magnetic charges. This framework can be used to p…

Abelian Instantons and Monopole Scattering

Csaba Csáki, Rotem Ovadia, Ofri Telem +2

It is usually assumed that instantons can only arise in non-Abelian theories. In this paper we re-examine this conventional wisdom by explicitly constructing instantons in an…
