Fermions in Yang-Mills potentials

Abstract
It is shown that the magnetic monopole of 't Hooft and an isospinor fermion do not have any bound states. Further, the dyon of Julia and Zee considered as a fixed field configuration does not bind an isospinor fermion. An example is given of an infinite-energy solution of the pure Yang-Mills theory which when taken as a potential in a wave equation will confine the wave function.
