Abstract
We consider bound states of an electron in the field of a thin magneti c flux tube which are due to the anomaly of its magnetic moment. The b inding energies appear to grow when decreasing the radius of the flux tube while keeping the anomaly fixed until the gap between electron an d positron levels vanishes. We discuss possible implications for the g round state of QED.
