Induced charges and tunneling in soliton-antisoliton systems

  • 1. Lyman Laboratory of Physics, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138

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
