Abstract

It is argued that 4d4d SU(N)SU(N) N=4\mathcal{N}=4 SYM has an accumulation line of zero-temperature topologically ordered phases. Each of these phases corresponds to NN bound states charged under electromagnetic ZN(1)\mathbb{Z}^{(1)}_N one-form symmetries. Each of the NN bound states is made of two Dyonic flux components each of them extended over a two dimensional surface. They are localized at the fixed loci of a rotational action, and are argued to correspond to conformal blocks (or primaries) of an SU(N)1SU(N)_1 WZNW model on a two-torus.
