Fractional Dirac Magnetic Monopole Charges Without Observable Singularities

Authors: Jay R. Yablon

It is widely believed that Dirac magnetic monopoles and their related electric charges must be quantized, and that any fractional charges one might posit cannot exist without creating forbidden observable singularities. Here, we explicitly present a vector potential for a Dirac monopole with fractional magnetic and electric charges whose curl is a Coulomb magnetic field and which potential has no observable singularities. We then demonstrate how these fractional charges are projected onto SO(3) from topological covering groups with generators which are the generalized mth roots of the 2x2 identity matrix I, situated at various Euler angles on the complex plane of the covering group generators, all without observable singularities.
