Fermions in a time-periodic SU(2) background: The eigenfunctions
Description
Isospinor fermions are studied in the presence of a covariantly constant, time-periodic SU(2) background field. The eigenfunction spectrum is derived. Part of the modes, termed transverse, decouple from the external field. The non-trivial content is given by the so-called scalar longitudinal modes, which are quasi-doubly-periodic functions of time.
