Dual symmetry of quantum electrodynamics

V. I. Strazhev


Abstract: It is shown that quantum electrodynamics can be given a dual-symmetric form without introducing a new kind of particle (the Dirac monopole). The quantum theory of magnetic charge is analyzed on this basis. A new argument is induced in favor of the charge quantization condition in the theory.
