A stationary solution of quantum mechanical wave equation is the superposition of eigenfunctions. Each of them corresponds to a vector in the Hilbert space. In a graphene sample one can choose expansion coefficients to get the series convergent solely within the certain circle in the two-dimensional space. Outside this circle the analytic continuation is required in the form of a different series. The exact wave function is referred to as anomalous. It is not a superposition of conventional eigenfunctions and gets ouside the Hilbert space. Anomalous electron and antielectron are possible. The antielectron is not a vacancy in the conventional valence band. The anomalous electron-antielectron pair is created from the anomalous vacuum like the electron-positron pair is created from the electron-positron vacuum. Formation of the anomalous vacuum is not a single electron effect but the collective quantum phenomenon. In the film of graphene the anomalous states are located at the film edge and are expected to be of high conductivity.
