Self-Adjointness of the Dirac Hamiltonian and Fermion Number Fractionization in the Background of a Singular Magnetic Vortex
Abstract
The method of self-adjoint extensions is employed to determine the vacuum quantum numbers induced by a singular static magnetic vortex in 2+1-dimensional spinor electrodynamics. The results obtained are gauge-invariant and, for certain values of the extension parameter, both periodic in the value of the vortex flux and possessing definite parity with respect to the charge conjugation.
