A generalization of Wilsonian lattice gauge theory may be obtained by considering the possible self-adjoint extensions of the electric field operator in the Hamiltonian formalism. In the special case of 3D U(1) gauge theory these are parametrised by a phase θ, and the ordinary Wilson theory is recovered for θ=0. We consider the case θ=π, which, upon dualization, turns into a theory of staggered integer and half-integer height variables. We investigate order parameters for the breaking of the relevant symmetries, and thus study the phase diagram of the theory, which shows evidence of a broken ℤ2 symmetry in the continuum limit, in contrast to the ordinary theory.
