Abstract

This article shows that in Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect arrangements, the electron wave propagation space is doubly connected for two real coherent sources, and simply connected under certain condition for two virtual coherent sources, and all known AB experiments belong to the latter case. By the Feynman path integral method, we show that in the former case there is no AB effect, whereas in the latter case there is.

Key words

Aharonov-Bohm effect / connectedness of space / Feynman path integral
