We consider a spin 1/2 charged particle on the Lobachevsky plane subjected to a magnetic field corresponding to a discrete system of Aharonov-Bohm solenoids. Let $H^+$ and $H^-$ be the two components of the Pauli operator for spin up and…
We establish that the Pauli operator describing a spin-1/2 two-dimensional quantum system with a singular magnetic field has, under certain conditions, an infinite-dimensional space of zero modes, possibly, both spin-up and spin-down,…
The Aharonov-Bohm effect is the prime example of a zero-field-strength configuration where a non-trivial vector potential acquires physical significance, a typical quantum mechanical effect. We consider an extension of the traditional A-B…
Aharonov and Casher showed that Pauli Hamiltonians in two dimensions have gapless zero modes. We study the adiabatic evolution of these modes under the slow motion of $N$ fluxons with fluxes $\Phi_a\in\mathbb{R}$. The positions,…
We consider a charged quantum particle immersed in an axial magnetic field, comprising a local Aharonov-Bohm singularity and a regular perturbation. Quadratic form techniques are used to characterize different self-adjoint realizations of…
The perturbation theory expansion of the Aharonov-Bohm scattering amplitude has previously been studied in the context of quantum mechanics for spin zero and spin-1/2 particles as well in Galilean covariant field theory. This problem is…
We study the ground state of the Pauli Hamiltonian with a magnetic field in R^(2d). We consider the case where a scalar potential W is present and the magnetic field B is given by $B=2i\partial\bar\partial W$. The main result is that there…
We consider a spin-1/2 charged particle in the plane under the influence of two idealized Aharonov-Bohm fluxes. We show that the Pauli operator as a differential operator is defined by appropriate boundary conditions at the two vortices.…
To formulate the zero modes in a finite-size system with spontaneous breakdown of symmetries in quantum field theory is not trivial, for in the naive Bogoliubov theory, one encounters difficulties such as phase diffusion, the absence of a…
We study a two-dimensional Pauli operator describing a charged quantum particle with spin $1/2$ moving on a plane in presence of an orthogonal Aharonov-Bohm magnetic flux. We classify all the admissible self-adjont realizations and give a…
The existence of fermionic zero modes is shown in the presence of vortex configuration of pure $SU(2)$ gauge field on the manifold $M_4 \times S^2$. From the perspective of four-dimensional effective theory, these zero modes are almost the…
Fermion zero modes for abelian BPS monopoles are considered. In the spherically symmetric case the normalisable zero modes are determined for arbitrary monopole charge N. If N>1 the zero modes are zero along $N-1$ half-lines emanating from…
The Aharonov-Bohm effect is analyzed for a spin-1/2 particle in the case that a $1/r$ potential is present. Scalar and vector couplings are each considered. It is found that the approach in which the flux tube is given a finite radius that…
We discuss fermionic zero modes in the two-dimensional chiral p-wave superconductors. We show quite generally, that without fine-tuning, in a macroscopic sample there is only one or zero of such Majorana-fermion modes depending only on…
We consider the Pauli operator in $\mathbb R^3$ for magnetic fields in $L^{3/2}$ that decay at infinity as $|x|^{-2-\beta}$ with $\beta > 0$. In this case we are able to prove that the existence of a zero mode for this operator is…
We find a class of Fermion zero modes of Abelian Dirac operators in three dimensional Euclidean space where the gauge potentials and the related magnetic fields are nonzero only in a finite space region.
We take a negative delta function impurity in one arm of a quasi one dimensional Aharonov-Bohm ring and demonstrate abrupt phase changes across a quasi bound state of the negative delta function potential. We give a new mechanism for…
The behavior of simple eigenvalues of Aharonov-Bohm operators with many coalescing poles is discussed. In the case of half-integer circulation, a gauge transformation makes the problem equivalent to an eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian…
We discuss two possible covariant generalizations of the Aharonov-Bohm effect - one expression in terms of the space-time line integral of the four-vector potential and the other expression in terms of the space-time "area" integral of the…
A maximal realisation of the two-dimensional Pauli operator, subject to Aharonov--Bohm magnetic field, is investigated. Contrary to the case of the Pauli operator with regular magnetic potentials, it is shown that both components of the…
