Some Simpler Analogues of the Dual Standard Model and their Relation to Bais' Generalisation of the Montenon-Olive Conjecture

Abstract

We show that the correspondence between SU(5) monopoles and the elementary particles, which underlies the construction of a dual standard model, has some simpler analogues associated with the strong, weak and hypercharge interactions. We then discuss how these analogues relate to Bais' generalization of the Montenon-Olive conjecture and find the representations of the monopoles under the dual gauge group; these representations agree with those of the elementary particles.
