Connection of Spin and Statistics for Charge-Monopole Composites

Key Points

To examine the relationship between spin and statistics for composites of charged and magnetically charged particles.
Analyzed the wave function of two spinless charged particles during their relative motion.
Investigated the implications of interchange symmetry on the connection between spin and statistics.
Demonstrated that half-integer spin composites must adhere to symmetry under interchange.
Clarified that symmetry conditions lead to established principles relating spin and statistics.

Abstract

An object composed of a spinless electrically charged particle and a spinless magnetically charged particle may bear net half-integer spin, but the wave function of two such clusters must be symmetric under their interchange. Nevertheless, a careful study of the relative motion of the clusters shows that this symmetry condition implies the usual connection between spin and statistics.
