In the nonrelativistic case we find that whenever the relation $mc^2/e^2 <X(\al,g_m)$ is satisfied, where $\al$ is a flux in the units of the flux quantum, $g_m$ is magnetic moment, and $X(\al,g_m)$ is some function that is nonzero only for…

The Aharonov-Bohm effect including spin-noncommutative effects is considered. At linear order in $\theta$, the magnetic field is gauge invariant although spatially strongly anisotropic. Despite this anisotropy, the Schr\"odinger-Pauli…
