Abstract: We study on the metric graphs two types of scalar Gaussian free fields (GFF), the usual one and the one twisted by a $-1,1$-valued gauge field. We show that the latter can be obtained, up to an additional deterministic transformation, by conditioning the first on a topological event. This event is that all the sign clusters of the field should be trivial for the gauge field, that is to say should not contain loops with holonomy $-1$. We also express the probability of this topological event as a ratio of two determinants of Laplacians to the power $1/2$, the usual Laplacian and the gauge-twisted Laplacian. As an example, this gives on annular planar domains the probability that no sign cluster of the metric graph GFF surrounds the inner hole of the domain.
