Monopole

Monopole may refer to:

  • Magnetic monopole, or Dirac monopole, a hypothetical particle that may be loosely described as a magnet with only one pole, or related concepts in physics and mathematics:
    • Wu–Yang monopole, a monopole solution of Yang-Mills equations
    • 't Hooft–Polyakov monopole, analogous to Dirac monopole, but without singularities
    • Seiberg-Witten monopole, a solution of the Seiberg-Witten equations
    • Monopole (mathematics), a connection over a principal bundle G with a section (the Higgs field) of the associated adjoint bundle
  • Monopole (wine), an appellation owned by only one winery
  • Monopole antenna, a radio antenna that replaces half of a dipole antenna with a ground plane at right-angles to the remaining half
  • A monopole, a common term for a tubular self-supporting telecommunications mast, especially as distinguished from a lattice tower or pylon
  • A variable reluctance sensor (VRS) used to measure position and speed of moving metal components.
