Abstract

An important question in the field theory of electric and magnetic charge is the relative renormalization of the two kinds of charges. A general view of renormalization, as a scale change introduced in proceeding from the field to the particle level of description, indicates the universality of charge renormalization. This is confirmed by an explicit calculation of the long-range interaction of static charges.
