On the quantization of the electromagnetic flux — •Enderalp Yakaboylu and Karen Z. Hatsagortsyan — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, 69117 Heidelberg,Germany

The complete description of a gauge theory can be constructed via the Wilson line. This leads to a path-dependent formulation of gauge theory, which replaces the gauge freedom of the theory with the path freedom. It is shown that this equivalent formulation of gauge theory can provide a very simple and geometric description of the electromagnetic flux quantization. The developed formalism is employed for a (1+1) dimensional spacetime in order to discuss electric charge quantization [1].
