Description
Two concepts of induced fermion charge are discussed: the ''adiabatic charge'' built up by continuous changes of background fields and the ''spectral charge'' defined in terms of spectral asymmetry of the pertinent Dirac Hamiltonian. These two notions can be related by taking into account tunneling effects in a soliton-antisoliton system
