Magnetic monopoles

Vorläufig: This monograph presents a carefully written overview on the concept of magnetic monopoles. It addresses graduate students and consequently the author goes into details wherever necessary. Magnetic monopoles remain a hot subject of research in particle physics and quantum field theory. TOC:I.
