Abstract: (WSP)
The Abelian B-F term coupled to nontopological dynamical fields is quantized in a path- and surface-dependent representation that generalizes the loop representation. The gauge-invariant sector of the theory is shown to be labeled by equivalence classes of sets of paths and open surfaces that reflect the topological nature of the B-F interaction.
