In this work, we consider the London limit of the (2+1)D Georgi-Glashow modelwith dynamical quarks. Following Polyakov's monopole plasma approach and usingdual methods to treat the relevant matter sector, we derive in a clear andstraightforward manner the recently proposed gauging of the discrete Z(N)symmetry of the associated effective vortex theory. Our procedure applies tobosonic as well as to fermionic matter, enabling to derive a usefulrepresentation for the Wilson loop and discuss string breaking, due to thecreation of dynamical quark-antiquark pairs. This phenomenon corresponds to aperimeter law, a behavior that has been already observed in the lattice.Comment: 11 pages. Revised version with improvements after eq. (14). One reference adde
