On Quaternions and Monopoles

It is shown that the quaternionic Hilbert space formulation of quantum mechanics allows a quantization, based on a generalized system of imprimitivity, that leads to a description of the motion of a quantum particle in the field of a magnetic monopole. The corresponding Hamilton operator is linked to the theory of projective representations in the weakened form proposed by Adler.

A Rejoinder on Quaternionic Projective Representations

In a series of papers published in this Journal (J. Math. Phys.), a discussion was started on the significance of a new definition of projective representations in quaternionic Hilbert spaces. The present paper gives what we believe is a resolution of the semantic differences that had apparently tended to obscure the issues.
