On the possible electric charge breaking by the t'Hooft Polyakov monopole in the pointlike limit
Description
We consider the Callan-Rubakov effect for a t'Hooft-Polyakov monopole, discussing the radiative corrections. We find a spontaneous breaking of the electric charge and we argue that the electric charge of the monopole might be observable only modulo twice that of the fermion. (orig.)
