Abstract
We define a nonabelian particle-vortex duality as a dimensional analogue of the usual dimensional worldsheet nonabelian T-duality. The transformation is defined in the presence of a global symmetry and, although derived from a string theoretic setting, we formulate it generally. We then apply it to so-called "semilocal strings" in an gauge theory, originally discovered in the context of cosmic string physics.
