Abstract:
Scattering wave functions and Green's functions are found in the global
space of the principal fiber bundle corresponding to the Dirac monopole.
Hidden symmetries of the Dirac charge – monopole system are found, and
also transformations that connect states relating to different
topological charges $n\in\mathbb Z$. We show that the concept of spatial reflection does not exist when the physical states are defined on the bundle that
is usually associated with the Dirac charge – monopole system. In other
words, there does not exist an operator that lifts spatial reflection
to the global space of such a bundle. A well-defined operator of dyon
permutation is constructed on the two-dyon bundle. Its action on
local sections can therefore be correctly defined. It is shown that
the symmetric wave function defined on this bundle cannot be transformed
into an antisymmetric wave function by means of a gauge transformation,
in contrast to the well-known assertion first made in connection with the problem of dyon spin.
