Hot gauge theories and ZN phases.
In this paper the several aspects of the ZN symmetry in gauge theories at high temperatures are discussed. The metastable ZN bubbles in the SU(N) gauge theories with fermions may have, generically, unacceptable thermodynamic behavior. Their free energy F ∝ T 4 with a positive proportionality constant. This leads not only to negative pressure but also to negative specific heat and, more seriousl...
متن کاملOn Mixed Phases in Gauge Theories
In many gauge theories at different values of parameters entering Lagrangian, the vacuum is dominated by coherent condensates of different mutually non-local fields (for instance, by condensates of electric or magnetic charges, or by various dyons). It is argued that the transition between these ”dual to each other” phases proceeds through an intermediate ”mixed phase”, having qualitatively dif...
متن کاملExotic phases of finite temperature SU ( N ) gauge theories with massive fermions : F , Adj , A / S
The phase diagrams at high temperature of SU(N) gauge theories with massive fermions are calculated by numerically minimizing the one-loop effective potential. We consider fermions in the Fundamental (F), Adjoint (Adj), Antisymmetric (AS), and Symmetric (S) representations, for N from 3 to 9, with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions applied. For one flavour of AS/S (Dirac) fermion wit...
متن کاملOn Phases of Gauge Theories and the Role of Non-bps Solitons in Field Theory
As shown in hep-th/9709081, non-BPS saturated solitons play an important role in the duality transformations ofN = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories. In particular, a massive spinor in an SO(N) gauge theory with massless matter in the vector representation appears in the dual description as a magnetic monopole with a Z2 charge. This claim is supported by numerous tests, including detailed matchin...
متن کاملHigher symmetry and gapped phases of gauge theories
We study topological field theory describing gapped phases of gauge theories where the gauge symmetry is partially Higgsed and partially confined. The TQFT can be formulated both in the continuum and on the lattice and generalizes Dijkgraaf-Witten theory by replacing a finite group by a finite 2-group. The basic field in this TQFT is a 2-connection on a principal 2-bundle. We classify topologic...
