Abstract
We show that a (3+1)-dimensional system composed of an open magnetic v ortex and an electrical paint charge exhibits the phenomenon of Fermi- Bose transmutation. In order to provide the physical realization of th is system we focus on the lattice compact scalar electrodynamics SQED( c) whose topological excitations are open Nielsen-Olesen strings with magnetic monopoles attached at their ends.
