A magnetic potential is included in the so-called (quantum) dynamical confinement to open sets of ; gauge transformations are also discussed. Then, the results are applied to the Aharonov–Bohm model in the plane (the solenoid is a disk of radius greater than zero) in order to get some examples of operators confining the electron outside the solenoid.
