| dc.description.abstract | A quantum mechanical treatment of the motion of a charged particle in the field of a fixed magnetic monopole is given, based on a representation of the corresponding vector potential by means of a distribution. The results are closely similar to those obtained in the work of Wu and Yang, which stems from ideas borrowed from mathematical fiber bundle theory. We believe that our method follows more closely the usual quantum mechanical procedures and provides an alternative approach to that of Wu and Yang. Although the present paper deals with non-relativistic problem, it is clear that the extension to the case of a Pauli or Dirac particle can be easily done using spinor monopole harmonics. © 1978. | en |
