Description
The angular momentum of a charged boson in the presence of a vortex is calculated using collective coordinates in the two-dimensional, abelian Higgs model. In agreement with already published assertions, angular momentum is found to be half-integer when the vortex flux is quantized in half-integer units. (orig.)
