Quantization conditions and the double copy

Abstract

Abstract We formulate Wilson loop observables as products of eikonal Wilson lines given in terms of on-shell scattering amplitudes. We derive the eikonal phases for dyons in both gauge theory and gravity, which we use to derive the Dirac-Schwinger-Zwanziger quantization condition and its relativistic gravitational (Taub-NUT) counterpart via the double copy. We also compute the Wilson loop for an anyon-anyon system, obtaining a relativistic generalisation of the Aharonov-Bohm phase for gravitational anyons.
