Nuovo Cimento,4, 464 (1973); at the electromagnetic level, the Z-meson can be made axial with a vector photon by an appropriate choice ofP γ for theW (3)μ andB μ fields:\(\left( {\sqrt 3 + \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}} \right)B_\mu ^\gamma - 2W_\mu ^{(3)} - \left( {\sqrt 3 - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}} \right)B_\mu ,\;\quad \left( {\sqrt 3 + \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}} \right)W_\mu ^{(3)P_\gamma } = 2B_\gamma + \left( {\sqrt 3 - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}} \right)W_\mu ^{(3)} \) It is, of course, understood thatJ μ and\(\hat J\) represent thetotal electromagnetic and monopole currents respectively when hadrons are included so as to be rid of the anomaly.

  21. Relativistic invariance of the symmetric theory has been proved bySchwinger ref. (5)) and byB. Zumino:1966 International School of Physics «Ettore Majorana», p. 711. Incidentally, if one were to relax the restrictiong 2=3g 2, the monopole theory admits a static limit and the static monopole potential is\(V = \lambda _0 \exp [ - M_Z r]/r\). The force on the monopole in a homogeneous (uniform)H field may be obtained from the general expression\(F = \lambda _0 \int {d^3 r} \left\{ {M_Z^2 H(r)\frac{{\exp [ - M_Z r]}}{{4\pi r}} + H(0)\delta ^{(3)} (r)} \right\} = \frac{{\lambda _0 }}{{4\pi }}\int {d^3 rM_Z^2 \{ H(r) - H(0)\} } \frac{{\exp [ - M_Z r]}}{r}\) and hence can be seen to vanish. The associated electric field of a moving monopole may be neglected outsideRm -1Z . Also, the classical expression for the angular momentumJ 3=eg/4π for the symmetric theory now becomesJ 3=(eg/2π)(m Z a)−2[1−exp[−M Z a](1+M Z a)]. The dependance ofJ 3 on the distance between the monopole and the charge makes the classical argument for quantization inapplicable.
