Abstract: There is an ambiguity in the gauge group of the Standard Model. The group is $G=SU(3)imesSU(2)imesU(1)/Gamma$, where $Gamma$ is a subgroup of $$ which cannot be determined by current experiments. We describe how the electric, magnetic and dyonic line operators of the theory depend on the choice of $Gamma$. We also explain how the periodicity of the theta angles, associated to each factor of $G$, differ.
