By extending Lieb and Liniger's (1963) Bose gas analysis to many hard-core bosons confined to a one-dimensional mesoscopic ring in the presence of Aharonov-Casher flux (AC), persistent fluxon currents are investigated for the first time, and are found to be periodic in the AC flux with period Phi <sub>0</sub>=hc/e. The interesting mesoscopic parity effects due to evenness or oddness of the particle number N are discussed. More importantly, it is demonstrated exactly that, in the absence of the external AC flux, whether a self-sustained fluxon current exists depends only upon the choice of the boundary condition.
