Abstract

The authors demonstrate the non-zero effect of the electromagnetic vector potential on charged particles confined to field-free simply connected regions in which no non-zero gauge-invariant loop integrals of the vector potential exist. This effect arises in the presence of certain boundary conditions. They propose an experimental test of this effect.
