Abstract
In the scattering of a fermion and a gauge-theory monopole, "charge-mixing" boundary conditions on fermion fields play an important role. The apparent paradox of charge non-conservation suggested by these boundary conditions is shown to be spurious by a careful discussion of gauge invariance, charge, and the monopole state.Keywords
