Scientific paper
We survey the various uses of singular gauge fields which render an ideal description of ensembles of line- and surface-like excitations and explain phase transitions with the help of simple quadratic actions. Near a transition, the singular gauge fields can be transformed into ordinary complex fields called disorder fields which differ from Landau's order fields by developing a nonzero expectation value in the high-temperature phase.
