We analyze the charges carried by loops of string in models with non-abelian local discrete symmetry. The charge on a loop has no localized source, but can be detected by means of the Aharonov--Bohm interaction of the loop with another string. We describe the process of charge detection, and the transfer of charge between point particles and string loops, in terms of gauge--invariant correlation functions.

  1. Higher Gauging and Non-invertible Condensation Defects

    hep-th 2022-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Higher gauging of 1-form symmetries on surfaces in 2+1d QFT yields condensation defects whose fusion rules involve 1+1d TQFTs and realizes every 0-form symmetry in TQFTs.

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A family of asymptotic Alice-vortex/R7-brane backgrounds in axio-dilaton gravity is constructed, with the vortex tension encoded in a conical deficit and a generic intrinsic dipole moment.

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The symmetric-sector von Neumann algebra of a QFT violates additivity or Haag duality exactly when the Lagrangian algebra of its SymTFT contains operators beyond the identity, with a sharper criterion distinguishing t...
