Aharonov-Bohm Scattering by Vortices of Dimensionally-Reduced Yang-Mills Field

Abstract

If two dimensions of six-dimensional space-time are compactified, a topological configuration of Yang-Mills gauge field appears as a cosmic string in four dimensions, whose thickness is of the same order as the size of the compact space. We consider scattering of low-energy fermions by this object.
