Abstract

Forces related to A-B phases between fluxons with Φ=αΦ0   \Phi=\alpha\Phi_0\ \ \ αinteger\alpha\ne integer are discussed. We find a α2ln(r)\alpha^2\ln(r) type interaction screened on a scale λs\lambda_s. The forces exist only when the fluxons are actually immersed in the region with non vanishing charge density and are periodic in α\alpha. We briefly comment on the problem of observing such forces.
