On the deconfining limit in (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on S × S × R with Euclidean metric, following the planar case (on R) developed by Karabali, Kim and Nair. The deconfining limit of the theory can be discussed in terms of one of the S radii, while the other goes to infinity. We find that the limit agrees with the previously known result for a dynamical propagator mass for gluons. We also make comparisons with numerical data.

Nonperturbative approach to Yang-Mills thermodynamics
An analytical and nonperturbative approach to SU(2) and SU(3) Yang-Mills thermodynamics is developed and applied. Each theory comes in three phases: A deconfining, a preconfining, and a confining one. We show how macroscopic and inert scalar fields form in each phase and how they determine the ground-state physics and the properties of the excitations. While the excitations in the deconfining a...
متن کاملFinite Temperature Deconfining Transition in the BRST Formalism
We present a toy model study of the high temperature deconfining transition in Yang-Mills theory as a breakdown of the confinement condition proposed by Kugo and Ojima. Our toy model is a kind of topological field theory obtained from the Yang-Mills theory by taking the limit of vanishing gauge coupling constant gYM → 0, and therefore the gauge field Aμ is constrained to the pure-gauge configur...
متن کاملYang-Mills thermodynamics: The deconfining phase
We summarize recent nonperturbative results obtained for the thermodynamics of an SU(2) and an SU(3) Yang-Mills theory being in its deconfining (electric) phase. Emphasis is put on an explanation of the concepts involved. The presentation of technical details is avoided. Introduction. The purpose of a series of three articles, of which the present one is the first, is to give a compact, abbrevi...
متن کاملDeconfining by Winding
A model for the quantum effective description of the vacuum structure of thermalized SU(3) Yang-Mills theory is proposed. The model is based on Abelian projection leading to a Ginzburg-Landau theory for the magnetic sector. The possibility of topologically non-trivial, effective monopole fields in the deconfining phase is explored. These fields are assumed to be Bogomol’nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield s...
متن کاملHooft Vortices and Phases of Large N Gauge Theory
It is shown that a pair of vortex and anti-vortex is completely screened in 2 + 1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory and 3 + 1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory in the strong coupling limit, based on the recent conjecture of Maldacena. This is consistent with the fact that these theories exhibit confinement.
