Types of quantum field thories
In gauge theory of higher abelian Yang-Mills theory type, where field configurations on some manifold are circle n-bundles with connection , the magnetic flux of the field configuration through a -dimensional closed manifold is
where is the curvature -form.
If is contractible in , hence if there is a such whose boundary is then this is the (higher) magnetic charge enclosed by .
