The Bohm-Aharonov effect<br />

A gauge potential induces a phase<br />

in the electron wave function<br />

An electron circling a gauge string acquires a phase proportional to the magnetic flux.<br />

Invert the argument: mimic the effect of the phase by a fictitious gauge field<br />

With this we only take care of the “holonomy”
