Universal critical $g$ factor for spin-1/2 Aharonov-Bohm bound states
Whether the spin-1/2 Aharonov-Bohm Hamiltonian supports bound states has remained controversial since Hagen concluded that no such states exist for a Dirac particle. Here, we show that Hagen's solution corresponds to a particular member of the one-parameter family of self-adjoint extensions that describe the singular Z …
