Description
By considering an appropriate exact sequence of Lie algebras and using properties of Lie algebra extensions, we give an abstract algebraic description of the abelian monopole. We show how a sequence of Lie algebras carries a notion of a covariant derivative. Finally, using a metric on the Lie algebras we discuss the abstract algebraic version of electromagnetism. (orig.)
