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…
