We show that the connection responsible for any abelian or non abelian Aharonov-Bohm effect with $n$ parallel ``magnetic'' flux lines in $\R^3$, lies in a trivial $G$-principal bundle $P\to M$, i.e. $P$ is isomorphic to the product $M\times…

Spinor fields are written in polar form so as to compute their tensorial connection, an object that contains the same information of the connection but which is also proven to be a real tensor. From this, one can still compute the Riemann…
