Abstract:

States with fractional fermion charge have been discovered in relativistic field theory and condensed matter physics. In the latter context they lead to unexpected but experimentally verified predictions for one-dimensional electron-phonon systems like polyacetylene. We examine the common basis for this fortunate convergence between condensed matter and relativistic field theories.
