Superinsulators, Bose Metals and High-Tc Superconductors: The Quantum Physics of Emergent Magnetic Monopoles

by Carlo A Trugenberger

In 1931 Dirac showed that topologically quantized single magnetic charges, magnetic monopoles, while classically forbidden in a gauge theory, are allowed alongside electric charges in a quantum theory of electromagnetism. Such topological magnetic excitations are indeed admitted in the spectrum of most grand unified field theories of elementary interactions. Despite 40 years of dedicated search efforts, nonetheless, they have never shown up in any...
