Fermions in a Global Monopole Background

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v3

Abstract

We study the scattering of fermions in a ``global monopole'' background metric. This is the four-dimensional analogue of the scattering on a cone in three dimensions. The scattering amplitude is exactly obtained. We then study massless fermion-dyon systems in such a background metric. The density of the SS-wave fermion condensate is found to be given by a constant times the flat space value of Callan and Rubakov.
