Discrete quantum hair on black holes and the non-abelian Aharonov-Bohm effect
In an abelian Higgs model where U(1) is broken to ℤp by a condensate of charge pe, the U(1) charge QV in a finite volume V is an observable, but charge is screened, so 〈QV〉 falls exponentially to zero as V → ∞. It is demonstrated that the ℤp charge, QV modulo pe, can be cast as a surface integral by...
