Abstract
The quantum mechanical concept of an active translation operation in an external magnetic field is discussed, and an integral version of the kinetic momentum components' commutation relations in terms of a generalized imprimitivity system is formulated. Magnetic charge quantization then follows from a cocyclelike identity in complete analogy with Dirac's original derivation. A generalized system of imprimitivity for the Dirac monopole is explicitly constructed with no strings attached.
