I wanted to let you know about my new paper just posted at
http://arxiv.org/abs/http://www.arxi...ep-ph/0508257, titled Magnetic Monopoles and
Duality Symmetry Breaking in Maxwell's Electrodynamics.

This paper summarizes the main direction of my research over these past
eight months.

The abstract is as follows:

It is shown how to break the symmetry of a Lagrangian with duality
symmetry between electric and magnetic monopoles, so that at low energy,
electric monopole interactions continue to be observed but magnetic
monopole interactions become very highly suppressed to the point of
effectively vanishing. The "zero-charge" problem of source-free
electrodynamics is solved by requiring invariance under continuous,
local, duality transformations, while local duality symmetry combined
with local $U(1)_EM$ gauge symmetry leads naturally and surprisingly to an
$SU(2)_D$ duality gauge group.

I would be interested in any feedback, public or private, that you may
wish to provide.

Sincerely,

Jay R. Yablon
