We compare two different solutions of the Dirac equation in (1+1) dimensions. One solution is for a fermion in the presence of an electric potential and the other is for a fermion in the presence of a pseudoscalar potential. It is shown…

We consider a model of a quantized fermion field that is based on the Dirac equation in one dimensional space and re-examine how the fermion number of the vacuum, or the vacuum charge, varies when an external potential is switched on. With…
