INTRODUCTION The interaction of quantized Dirac fermion fields with classical background fields of nontrivial topology can give rise to quantum states with rather unusual ei- genvalues [1-3]. In particular, the ground state of a Dirac electron in the background of a Dirac magnetic monopole acquires nonzero electric charge, and this results in the monopole becoming a CP symmetry vio- lating dyon [4-6]. The effect persists when thermal fluc- tuations of the quantized Dirac electron field are taken into account, and this yields temperature dependence of the induced charge [7-9]. The aim of the present paper is to show that, in addi- tion to charge, also other quantum numbers are induced in the magnetic monopole background both at zero and nonzero temperatures. We find relationships between all these quantum numbers and discuss, which of them become sharp quantum observables rather than quantum averages and also when this happens. At nonzero tem- perature all quantum numbers are not sharp observ- ables, but, instead, are thermal averages; and, appropri- ately, the thermal quadratic fluctuations are nonvanish- ing. If a quadratic fluctuation vanishes at zero tempera- ture, then a corresponding quantum number at zero temperature becomes a sharp observable. We find out, in particular, that induced charge and squared total an- gular momentum at zero temperature are sharp observ- ables for almost all values of the vacuum angle with the exception of the one corresponding to zero energy of the bound state in the one-particle electron spectrum. 2. OPERATORS OF PHYSICAL OBSERVABLES AND THEIR VACUUM AND THERMAL EXPECTATION VALUES In the second-quantized theory, the operator of a dynamical variable (physical observable) is given by the integrated commutator of the electron field operators, 3 +1ˆ tr ( , ), ( , ) , 2 O d r r t r tϒ − = Ψ ϒΨ∫   (1) where is the appropriate one-particle operator in the first-quantized theory, and denotes the trace over spinor indices; in particular, O is the operator of en- ergy, where is the one-particle Hamiltonian, and is the operator of charge, where is the unity ma- trix in spinor indices, and is the electron charge. The vacuum expectation value of the observable corresponding to Eq. (1) can be presented as ϒ tr ˆH H ˆeIO I e 1ˆvac vac T r sgn ( ), 2 O Hϒ = − ϒ (2) where is the trace of an integro-differential operator in the functional space: Tr 3Tr tr | |U d r r U r= ∫ . The thermal expectation value of the observable is conven- tionally defined as (see, e.g., Ref. [10]) 1 ˆ ˆSp exp( )ˆ( ) ,ˆSpexp( ) ( ) , H H B O OO T O O k T β β β β ϒ ϒ ϒ − − = ≡ − = (3) where is the equilibrium temperature, is the Boltzmann constant, and is the trace or the sum over the expectation values in the Fock state basis in the second-quantized theory. Evidently, the zero- temperature limit of Eq. (3) coincides with Eq. (2): T Bk Sp ˆ(0) vac | | vac .O Oϒ ϒ= (4) Thus, Eq. (3) can be presented in a way similar to that of Eq. (2), i.e., through the functional trace of operators in the first-quantized theory, see, e.g., Ref. [11], 1 1( ) Tr tanh . 2 2 O T Hβϒ = − ϒ      (5) PROBLEMS OF ATOMIC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. 2007, N3 (1), p. 71-75. 71 The self-adjointness of the one-particle Hamiltonian ensures the conservation of energy in the second- quantized theory, and the corresponding operator is diagonal in creation and destruction operators; the op- erator of any other conserved observable is diagonal as well. If an observable is conserved, then its thermal quad- ratic fluctuation, ( ) 2 2ˆ ˆ ˆ;T O O O ββϒ ϒ ϒ  ∆ = −     , takes form ( ) 2 21 1ˆ; Tr sech . 4 2 T O Hβϒ ∆ = ϒ      (6) Eqs.

DIRAC ELECTRON IN THE DIRAC MONOPOLE BACKGROUND Since the monopole mass is estimated to be much heavier (by two orders) than the electron mass, it is rea- sonable to adopt a viewpoint according to which the monopole only provides a background where the elec- tron moves. Within this approach we consider quantiza- tion of the electron field in the background of a classical monopole field configuration. 3.1. ONE-PARTICLE OPERATORS A configuration of a pointlike monopole with mag- netic charge at the origin is given by the field strength in the form g 3 3( ) , ( ) 4 ( ).rB r g B r g r r π δ= ∂ ⋅ = (11) Following Wu and Yang [12], one can divide space into two overlapping regions, : 0 , 2aR πϑ< < +δ and : 2bR π δ ϑ π− < < sin siny r ϑ φ= (here stands for the azi- muthal angle in spherical coordinates, , , , and 0 ϑ π≤ ≤ sϑ sin cosx r ϑ φ= coz r= 0 ), and de- fine the patched vector potential: 2 πδ< < (1 cos ) , , ( ) (1 cos ) , , a b g d r A r dr g d r ϑ φ ϑ φ − ∈ = − + ∈ R R (12) then , where is given by Eq.

In the overlap A B∂ × = B : 2 2abR π πδ ϑ δ− < < + , the two potentials are re- lated by gauge transformation 1,ab aba b iA A S S e −= + ∂ (13) with 2 ,ieg abS e φ= (14) Therefore, the vector potential serves as a connection on a nontrivial U bundle, and the electron wave func- tion is a section of this bundle, i.e. wave function is two-valued with its values in the overlap related by gauge transformation (1) ( , )r tΨ abR .aba S Ψ (15) b Generating function (14) is existing (i.e. single- valued) only when abS 1 , 2 eg n n= ∈ , 0 ,M (16) which is the celebrated Dirac quantization condition [13] that has already attained its 75-year anniversary. The Dirac Hamiltonian in the background of a static magnetic monopole takes form 0 ( )H i eAγ γ γ= − ⋅ ∂ + + (17) where and are the Dirac matrices, is the elec- tron mass, and is given by Eq. (12). The magnetic monopole background is rotationally invariant and three generators of rotations are identified with the compo- nents of vector – the operator of total angular mo- mentum in the first-quantized theory, 0γ γ A J M ,J = Λ +Σ (18) where ( ) rr i eA eg r Λ = − × ∂ + − (19) is its orbital part, and 4 i γ γΣ = × (20) is its spin part; note that the last term in Eq.(19) is nec- essary in order to ensure the correct commutation rela- tions: [ , ]j k jkl lJ J i Jε− = . 3.2.

INDUCED QUANTUM NUMBERS IN THE DIRAC MONOPOLE BACKGROUND In the standard representation for the Dirac matrices operators Λ (19) and Σ   (20) are of the block-diagonal form, 0 , 0 Ω ϒ =  Ω  (26) ( )O and contain no derivatives in : r ( ) ( , ) ( ) ( , ).h r h rξ ϑ φ ξ ϑ φΩ = Ω (27) 4 O T It can be shown that, when conditions (26) and (27) are satisfied, the contribution of partial waves with 1| | 2 j eg> − to spectral density (9) is even in energy, and, thus, these waves do not contribute to thermal ex- pectation value (7). The contribution of the lowest par- tial wave to spectral density (9) is calculated to be ( ) ( ) ( ) | | 2 †( ) sin | | 0 0 1cos sin 4 1 cos sgn( )( ) 4 2 sin 2 2( ) . 2 2 eg E d d m m m eg E M E M EE M E M M E M E M π π τ φ ϑ ϑ θ δ δ δ π θ × − × = Ω∑ ∫ ∫ϒ =−  − Θ − Θ − − Θ + + − Θ  −  −  (28) η η Using the last relation, we get the following expression for the thermal expectation value (7) of the observable which corresponds to an operator satisfying conditions (26) and (27): ( ) | | 21 †( ) sin 2 | | 0 0 1cos tanh( Msin ) 2 1tanh( Mw)sin 2 w 2 .2 222 w sin1 w 1 eg O T d d m m m eg d π π φ ϑ ϑη η θ β β π × + = − Ω ×∑ ∫ ∫ϒ =−  − Θ Θ  ∞ Θ ∫  − Θ−   (29) The integration over angular variables with summation over can be performed using the orthonormality of m mη ’s. In particular, one gets immediately ( ) ( ) ( ) 0,O T O T O TJ= = =ΣΛ (30) and, thus, rotational symmetry is not spontaneously broken.

QUANTUM EIGENVALUES OR QUANTUM EXPECTED AVERAGE VALUES The squares of orbital angular momentum and spin are nonconserved observables, so their values both at zero and nonzero temperatures should be regarded as expected averages of many quantum measurements.

Thus, the values of charge and squared total angular momentum at nonzero tem- perature should be regarded as expected averages of many quantum measurements, since the corresponding thermal quadratic fluctuations are nonvanishing. 3T 7T However, interaction with the monopole background reveals itself at zero temperature, yielding a Θ - dependence of a specific type, which is due to a possi- bility of appearance of a bound state with zero energy in the one-particle electron spectrum, i.e. at c and , see Eq.

An ideal gas of relativistic massive electrons in the background of a Dirac magnetic monopole is considered. We find that in the case of CP symmetry violation this system acquires, in addition to charge, also squared orbital angular momentum, squared spin, and squared total angular momentum. The functional dependence of these quantities on the temperature and the CP-violating vacuum angle is determined. Thermal quadratic fluctuations of conserved quantities are examined, and we analyze, when charge and squared total angular momentum become sharp quantum observables rather than mere expected averages of many quantum measurements.
