Regularization of the quantum field theory of charges and monopoles

A gauge-invariant regularization procedure for quantum field theories of electric and magnetic charges based on Zwanziger's local formulation is proposed. The bare regularized full Green functions of gauge-invariant operators are shown to be Lorentz invariant. This would have as a consequence t...

Summary:A gauge-invariant regularization procedure for quantum field theories of electric and magnetic charges based on Zwanziger's local formulation is proposed. The bare regularized full Green functions of gauge-invariant operators are shown to be Lorentz invariant. This would have as a consequence the Lorentz invariance of the finite Green functions that might result after any reasonable subtraction, if such a subtraction can be found.
