Statistics as a local phase: crystalline order and quench dynamics of emergent dimers in Ising gauge theories

How does the Bose or Fermi statistics of microscopic particles survive when confinement binds them into emergent bosonic composites? We address this question in the strong-coupling limit of a $2+1$D $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory, where charges are confined into tightly bound pairs that can be described by an effe...
