Non-Abelian statistics versus the Witten anomaly

This paper is motivated by prospects for non-Abelian statistics of deconfined particlelike objects in 3+1 dimensions, realized as solitons with localized Majorana zero modes. To this end, we study the fermionic collective coordinates of magnetic monopoles in 3+1-dimensional spontaneously-broken SU(2...
