We study the scattering of fermions off 't Hooft lines in the Standard Model. A long-standing paradox suggests that the outgoing fermions necessarily carry fractional quantum numbers. In a previous paper, we resolved this paradox in the context of a number of toy models where we showed that the outgoing radiation is created by operators that are attached to a co-dimension 1 topological surface. This shifts the quantum numbers of the outgoing states associated to non-anomalous symmetries to be integer valued as required, while the quantum numbers associated to anomalous symmetries are fractional. Here we apply these ideas to the Standard Model.

  1. Dark Matter and Baryon Asymmetry from Monopole-Axion Interactions

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    A rotating QCD axion dissipates kinetic energy via dark monopole dyon transitions, explaining dark matter and baryon asymmetry with a predicted axion decay constant below 10^9 GeV.

  2. Perfect Particle Transmission through Duality Defects

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Wavepackets in quantum spin chains pass perfectly through duality defects and emerge as string-dressed excitations, because such defects are unitary conjugations of the uniform Hamiltonian.

  3. Charge quantisation, monopoles and emergent symmetry in the Standard Model and its embeddings

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper maps the global structure of the Standard Model gauge group to 1-form symmetries, derives the allowed electric and magnetic charge lattices for each candidate group, and presents a new anomaly-free model rea...
