The Effective Lagrangian of QED with a Magnetic Charge
Abstract
The effective Lagrangian of QED coupled to dyons is calculated. The resulting generalization of the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian contains non-linear P- and T-nonivariant (but C invariant) terms corresponding to the virtual pair creation of dyons. As examples, the amplitudes for photon splitting and photon coalescence are calculated.
