        "abstract": "We study vortex-creating, or monopole, operators in 3d CFTs which are the infrared limit of N = 2 and N = 4 supersymmetric QEDs in three dimensions. Using large-N-f expansion, we construct monopole operators which are primaries of short representations of the superconformal algebra. Mirror symmetry in three dimensions makes a number of predictions about such operators, and our results confirm these predictions. Furthermore, we argue that some of our large-N-f results are exact. This implies, in particular, that certain monopole operators in N = 4 d = 3 SQED with N-f = 1 are free fields. This amounts to a proof of 3d mirror symmetry in a special case.",

        "abstract": "Many abelian gauge theories in three dimensions flow to interacting conformal field theories in the infrared. We define a new class of local operators in these conformal field theories which are not polynomial in the fundamental fields and create topological disorder. They can be regarded as higher-dimensional analogues of twist and winding-state operators in free 2d CFTs. We call them monopole operators for reasons explained in the text. The importance of monopole operators is that in the Higgs phase, they create Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen vortices. We study properties of these operators in three-dimensional QED using large N-f expansion. In particular, we show that monopole operators belong to representations of the conformal group whose primaries have dimension of order N-f. We also show that monopole operators transform non-trivially under the flavor symmetry group, with the precise representation depending on the value of the Chern-Simons coupling.",
