The components of the electric charge distribution around a magnetic monopole

The electric charge of the vacuum around a magnetic monopole is calculated using fermionic states normalized in a spherical box of radius R→∞. The results are compared with results of other authors, who used continuum normalization and with the results for one-dimensional chiral bags. New components of the charge density, which are omitted in the continuum approach, are found. 10 refs. (author)
