Description

We present some recent results on the universal C*-algebra of the electromagnetic quantum field which is represented in any theory describing the electromagnetic field. We discuss the appearance of a new kind of topological charges described by a pair of fields localized in certain topologically non-trivial and spacelike separated regions.
