A geometric description of Dirac monopoles
Description
Dirac magnetic monopoles are described in terms of principle U(1) bundles over the sphere S2. The structure group U(1) is then extended to the group SU(2) and potentials are given in gauges free of string singularities. Resulting vector and scalar fields can be asymptotic quantities for non-Abelian monopoles. (author)
