Abstract: (WSP)
We review recent advances in the theoretical understanding of electric charge quantization in the Standard Model and some of its extensions. We discuss the roles played by classical constraints, gauge and mixed gauge-gravitational anomaly-cancellation and the demand of vector-like electromagnetic interactions. An attempt is made to clearly explain and contrast the points of view of various authors.
