Miller's Aharonov–Casher lower-bound conjecture

Let B(x)0B(x)\ge 0 be a magnetic field with flux

Φ:=12πB,\Phi:= \frac{1}{2\pi}\int B,

which may be infinite, and let HH denote the corresponding Pauli operator. Miller's conjecture. The dimension of its kernel should satisfy

dimKer(H)Φ.\dim\operatorname{Ker}(H)\ge \lfloor\Phi\rfloor.

The conjecture was recalled from Miller, but the source states that it is false; the paper gives a counterexample to the Aharonov–Casher theorem for a continuous bounded field with infinite total variation, finite limiting flux greater than 11, and trivial kernel.
