The scattering of an incident plane wave on two Aharonov-Bohm vortices with opposite fluxes is considered in detail. The presence of the vortices imposes non-trivial boundary conditions for the partial waves on a cut joining the two…

The Aharonov--Bohm effect is considered as a scattering event with nonrelativistic charged particles of the wavelength which is less than the transverse size of an impenetrable magnetic vortex. The quasiclassical WKB method is shown to be…
We study the interactions of non-abelian vortices in two spatial dimensions. These interactions have novel features, because the Aharonov-Bohm effect enables a pair of vortices to exchange quantum numbers. The cross section for…
Quantum-mechanical scattering off a magnetic vortex is considered, and the optical theorem is derived. The vortex core is assumed to be impermeable to scattered particles, and its transverse size is taken into account. We show that the…
Quantum-mechanical theory for scattering of nonrelativistic charged particles with spin by a penetrable magnetic vortex is elaborated. The scattering differential cross section is shown to consist of two terms, one describing diffraction on…
In this work we study modifications in the Aharonov-Bohm effect for relativistic spin 1/2 particles due to the noncommutativity of spacetime in $2 + 1$ dimensions. The noncommutativity gives rise to a correction to the Aharonov-Bohm…
We study linear and nonlinear wave scattering by an optical vortex in a self-defocusing nonlinear Kerr medium. In the linear case, we find a splitting of a plane-wave front at the vortex proportional to its circulation, similar to what…
The scattering amplitude of a charged particle from a long hard cylinderical solenoid is derived by solving the time independent Schr\"{o}dinger equation on a double connected plane. It is a summation over the angular momentum quantum…
In this paper, using a (2+1)-dimensional field theory approach, we study the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) scattering with Lorentz symmetry breaking. We obtain the modified scattering amplitude to the AB effect due to the small Lorentz violation…
We develop a unified treatment of the non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect in isotropic multiband systems, namely, the scattering of particles on a gauge field corresponding to a noncommutative Lie group. We present a complex contour…
The celebrated Aharonov-Bohm effect is perhaps the first example in which the the interplay between classical topology and quantum theory was explored. This connection has continued to shed light on diverse areas of physics like quantum…
The problem of the scattering of a charge by the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) flux line is reconsidered in terms of finite width beams. It is shown that despite the left-right symmetry in the AB scattering cross-section, the charge is scattered…
The exact wave functions that describe scattering of a charged particle by a confined magnetic field (Aharonov-Bohm effect) and by a Coulomb field are analyzed. It is well known that the usual procedure of finding asymptotic forms of these…
Previous results on the scattering of surface waves by vertical vorticity on shallow water are generalized to the case of dispersive water waves. Dispersion effects are treated perturbatively around the shallow water limit, to first order…
In this paper we review some aspects of the scattering Aharonov-Bohm effect and Berry's phase. Specifically, the problem of scattering of free 2d electrons on the system of an arbitrary number of parallel, infinitely thin and infinitely…
The Aharonov-Bohm scattering amplitude is calculated in the context of planar gravity with localized sources which also carry a magnetic flux. These sources cause space-time to develop conical singularities at their location, thus…
The Aharonov-Bohm-Coulomb potentials in two dimensions may describe the interaction between two particles carrying electric charge and magnetic flux, say, Chern--Simons solitons, or so called anyons. The scattering problem for such two-body…
