Strings, monopoles, and gauge fields

The Nielsen-Olesen interpretation of dual strings as Abrikosov flux lines is extended to the case of open-ended strings by adapting Dirac's description of magnetic monopoles to a London-type theory. The mathematical formalism turns out to be similar to that of Kalb and Ramond. Translated to hadron physics, it implies that the quarks will act as carriers of magnetic charge, permanently bound in pairs by the string bonds. However, massive axial-vector gluons can be created by hadrons.
