Abstract

We note that neutrl vortices in a fermionic background acquire the same local charge and spin quantum numbers as charged vortices in a Chern-Simons theory, provided the Chern-Simons mass is obtained by integrating out the fermions. We also point out that in an SU(2) theory involving (globally) charged fermions, (globally) neutral fermions appear as pairs of Z2 solitons and comment on their relevance to condensed matter systems.
