Abstract
We present the extension of the Lagrangian representation in such a way to introduce matter fields. The partition function of lattice compact U(1) Gauge-Higgs model is expressed as a sum over closed as much as open surfaces. These surfaces correspond to world sheets of loop-like pure electric flux excitations and open electric flux tubes carrying matter fields at their ends. There is a duality transformation between this description in terms of loop world sheets and the representation in terms of world sheets of Nielsen-Olesen strings both closed and open joining pairs of monopoles.
