First, in the Sobolev space $\\mathcal H^2$, we characterize all generalized boundary conditions on the solenoid bor- der compatible with quantum mechanics, i.e., the boundary conditions so that the corresponding hamiltonian operators are self-adjoint. Then we study and compare the scattering of the most usual boundary con- ditions, that is, Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-08-17T14:33:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "aharonov-bohm hamiltonian", "self-adjoint extensions", "scattering", "homogeneous magnetic field", "usual boundary" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/1751-8113/43/35/354011", "journal": "Journal of Physics A Mathematical General", "year": 2010, "month": "Sep", "volume": 43, "number": 35, "pages": 354011 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 40, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010JPhA...43I4011D" } } }
