Abstract
Both the nonrelativistic scattering and the spectrum in the presence of the Aharonov-Bohm potential are analyzed. The single-particle density of states (DOS) for different self-adjoint extensions is calculated. The DOS provides a link between different physical quantities and is a natural starting point for their calculation. The consequences of an asymmetry of the S matrix for the generic self-adjoint extension are examined. I. Introduction II. Impenetrable flux tube and the density of states III.
