Abstract
The flavor vortex operator V α is a local disorder operator defined by coupling a two-dimensional \( \mathcal{N}=\left(2,\;2\right) \) chiral multiplet to a non-dynamical gauge field with vortex singularity of holonomy 2πα. We show that it is related to the mirror-dual twisted chiral multiplet, with bottom component y, as V α = e −αy.
