Topological approach to Alice electrodynamics

Abstract: We analyze the unlocalized "Cheshire charge" carried by "Alice strings." The magnetic charge on a string loop is carefully defined, and the transfer of magnetic charge from a monopole to a string loop is analyzed using global topological methods. A semiclassical theory of electric charge transfer is also described.

“…This property is the reason why the vortex is called an Alice string; the monodromy works as a "charge-conjugation looking glass" [7,32]. Since Q(θ = 4π) = Q 0 , the U (1) generator is double-valued in the transverse two-dimensional space.…”

“…(In the d-wave channel the vortex involves a rotation by π/2.) Such behavior is a condensed matter example of the Alice-string behavior in the high energy physics [54,55]. Another interesting behavior of HQV is that a pair of half-quantum vortex and anti-vortex can carry spin quantum number.…”

“…Furthermore, since σ takes representations to their complex conjugates, we can view it as a generalized charge conjugation operator of the type studied in [35], and therefore strings with σ holonomy should be thought of as Alice strings [32,33,34].…”
