    "abstract": "The Hamiltonian describing a conductor surrounding an external magnetic field\ncontains a nonvanishing vector potential in the volume accessible to the\nelectrons and nuclei of which the conductor is made. That vector potential\ncannot be removed by a gauge transformation. Nevertheless, a macroscopic normal\nconductor can experience no Aharonov-Bohm effect. That is proved by assuming\nonly that a normal conductor lacks off-diagonal long-range order (ODLRO). Then\nby restricting the Hilbert space to density matrices which lack ODLRO, it is\npossible to introduce a restricted gauge transformation that removes the\ninteraction of the conductor with the vector potential.",
