Abstract

We consider the strong field asymptotics for the occurrence of zero modes of certain Weyl-Dirac operators on R3\mathbb{R}^3. In particular we are interested in those operators DB\mathcal{D}_{B} for which the associated magnetic field BB is given by pulling back a 22-form β\beta from the sphere S2\mathbb{S}^2 to R3\mathbb{R}^3 using a combination of the Hopf fibration and inverse stereographic projection. If S2β0\int_{\mathbb{S}^2}\beta\neq0 we show that 0tTdimKerDtB=T28π2S2βS2β+o(T2) \sum_{0\le t\le T}\mathrm{dim}\,\mathrm{Ker}\,\mathcal{D}_{tB} =\frac{T^2}{8\pi^2}\,\biggl\lvert\int_{\mathbb{S}^2}\beta\biggr\rvert\,\int_{\mathbb{S}^2}\lvert{\beta}\rvert+o(T^2) as T+T\to+\infty. The result relies on Erd\H{o}s and Solovej's characterisation of the spectrum of DtB\mathcal{D}_{tB} in terms of a family of Dirac operators on S2\mathbb{S}^2, together with information about the strong field localisation of the Aharonov-Casher zero modes of the latter.
