Principal U(1)-Bundles for Codimension 3 't Hooft Operators

Article 93302 uses the path integral formulation to construct 't Hooft operators localized on closed manifolds Γ with codimension 3 in the spacetime manifold M. The construction uses a principal U(1)-bundle over the base space M\setminusΓ such that the restriction of the bundle to any 2-sphere linked with Γ is nontrivial. This article explains how to construct some examples of such principal U(1)-bundles.
