Charge-monopole molecule and vanishing of the Schwinger string

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

As is well known [1, 2], the wave functions of charge scattering states in the magnetic monopole field are expanded in the eigenfunctions of symmetric quantum top rotation. The established direct relationship of the total momentum operators of these systems causes the Schwinger string to vanish and demonstrates that the charge and monopole system has the property of a diatomic molecule.
