  We consider quantum global vortex string correlation functions, within the
Kalb-Ramond framework, in the presence of a background field-strength tensor
and investigate the conditions under which this yields a nontrivial
contribution to those correlation functions. We show that a background field
must be supplemented to the Kalb-Ramond theory, in order to correctly describe
the quantum properties of the vortex strings. The explicit form of this
background field and the associated quantum vortex string correlation function
are derived. The complete expression for the quantum vortex creation operator
is explicitly obtained. We discuss the potential applicability of our results
in the physics of superfluids and rotating Bose-Einstein condensates.
