What quantities, phases, or charges are physically meaningful in gauge theories as opposed to gauge-dependent: claims about gauge-invariant observables, physical (dressed vs bare) charges, and whether particular effects or conclusions depend on gauge choices. Not tags for specific gauge-theory formalism like Wilson-loop correlator computations.

The physically meaningful Aharonov-Bohm phase of a test quark in a superfluid is that of the dressed charge
