We would like to invite you to the first MAFIA Seminar in the Academic year 2020/2021. The guest will be Marie Fialová (University of Copenhagen) with a lecture "Aharonov–Casher Theorem for a Plane Domain With Holes With the APS Boundary Condition". The seminar takes place on Tuesday, September 29., 2020 and it starts at 13.15 in the room No. T112. We also prepare online version (see whole article for ACTUAL details).
We also prepare online version of this seminar at special seminar link. It will be active 15 minutes before the seminar starts.
It is necessary to enable the camera/microphone device and then insert the very special and secret PIN code "1234".

Abstract:
Consider the Dirac operator on a plane with a compactly supported smooth magnetic field perpendicular to the plane with total flux Φ. The Aharonov-Casher theorem tells us that the dimension of the kernel, i.e., the number of zeromodes, of this operator is the largest integer strictly less than lΦl/2Π. The talk is focused on a similar result on the number of zero modes in an alternative setting.
In particular we are interested in the Dirac operator on the complex plane outside a finite number of balls with a magnetic field supported inside each ball, i.e., an
Aharonov-Bohm setting. We consider the domain of the operator with the famous Atiyah-Patodi-Singer boundary condition on the boundaries of the balls. The number of zero modes depends only on the flux Φk through each ball mod 2Π.
If we assume that Φk/2Π ε [-1/2, 1/2] the number of zero modes is again the largest integer strictly less than lΦl/2Π, where Φ = ∑kΦk . I will discuss the case of one ball where the theorem says that there cannot be any zero modes.
