   Format: MarkdownItexadded references whose authors retain the locus of the monopole and instead change the nature of the EM-field from a connection on a bundle to a trivialization of a gerbe. The original suggestion: * [[Jean-Luc Brylinski]], §7.2 in: *Loop spaces, characteristic classes and geometric quantization*, Birkhäuser (1993) &lbrack;[doi:10.1007/978-0-8176-4731-5](https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9780817647308))&rbrack; This elaboration: * [[Daniel Freed]], §2 of: *[[Dirac charge quantization and generalized differential cohomology]]*, Surveys in Differential Geometry **7**, Int. Press (2000) 129-194 &lbrack;[arXiv:hep-th/0011220](http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0011220), [doi:10.4310/SDG.2002.v7.n1.a6](https://dx.doi.org/10.4310/SDG.2002.v7.n1.a6), [spire:537392](https://inspirehep.net/literature/537392)&rbrack; and more recent discussion meaning to put this in a broader context of higher gauge theory: * [[Hank Chen]], [[Florian Girelli]], §2.5.3 in: *Gauging the Gauge and Anomaly Resolution* &lbrack;[arXiv:2211.08549](https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.08549)&rbrack; <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/diff/Dirac+monopole/13">diff</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/Dirac+monopole/13">v13</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Dirac+monopole">current</a>

   added references whose authors retain the locus of the monopole and instead change the nature of the EM-field from a connection on a bundle to a trivialization of a gerbe.

   The original suggestion:

   • Jean-Luc Brylinski, §7.2 in: Loop spaces, characteristic classes and geometric quantization, Birkhäuser (1993) [doi:10.1007/978-0-8176-4731-5)]

   This elaboration:

   • Daniel Freed, §2 of: Dirac charge quantization and generalized differential cohomology, Surveys in Differential Geometry 7, Int. Press (2000) 129-194 [arXiv:hep-th/0011220, doi:10.4310/SDG.2002.v7.n1.a6, spire:537392]

   and more recent discussion meaning to put this in a broader context of higher gauge theory:

   • Hank Chen, Florian Girelli, §2.5.3 in: Gauging the Gauge and Anomaly Resolution [arXiv:2211.08549]
