“…In order to finish this introduction, we recall that over the years other approaches have been introduced in order to give an explanation of the quantization of the electric charge. They involve topological arguments [33,34,24,10], geometric quantization [37,29], path integral considerations [1], anomaly cancellations [2,15,12,14,7,16], Kaluza-Klein theory [25], a particular analysis of the Aharonov-Bohm potentials [4], loop quantization [11] or a particular quantum theory of the electric charge [38]. The Dirac quantization condition can be derived from the quantization of the total angular momentum [19] and can be related to the associativity of finite translations [23,30].…”
