Monopole-fermion scattering and varying Fock space

We propose a four-dimensional interpretation of the outgoing state of the scattering of a massless fermion off a Dirac monopole. It has been known that such a state has fractional fermion numbers and is necessarily outside the Fock space on top of ordinary perturbative vacuum, when more than two flavours of charged Dirac fermions are considered. In this paper, we point out that the Fock space of the fermions depends on the rotor degree of freedom of the monopole and changes by a monopole-fermion s-wave scattering. By uplifting the fermion-rotor system introduced by Polchinski, from two to four dimensions, we argue that the outgoing state can be understood as a state in a different Fock space.
