Abstract

Dirac’s charge quantization condition is derived by means of a canonical quantization procedure of an enlarged classical phase space in which the interaction constant is a dynamical variable. The charge quantization condition follows by imposing a superselection rule. The method avoids string singularities and does not depend on spherical symmetry. The charge quantization condition is due solely to the topology of the enlarged classical configuration space.
