Monopole Potential and Confining Strings in the (2+1)-dimensional Georgi-glashow Model
نویسنده
چکیده
Confining strings are investigated in the (2+1)D Georgi-Glashow model. This is done in the limit when the electric coupling constant is much larger than the square root of the mass of the Higgs field, but much smaller than the vacuum expectation value of this field. The modification of the Debye mass of the dual photon with respect to the case when it is considered to be negligibly small compared to the Higgs mass, is found. Analogous modifications of the potential of monopole densities and string coupling constants are found as well.

3d Georgi–glashow Model and Confining Strings at Zero and Finite Temperatures
In this review, we discuss the confining and finite-temperature properties of the 3D SU(N) Georgi–Glashow model, and of 4D compact QED. At zero temperature, we derive string representations of both theories, thus constructing the SU(N) version of Polyakov’s theory of confining strings. We discuss the geometric properties of confining strings, as well as the appearance of the string θ term from ...
متن کاملInfluence of matter fields on the (de-)confining properties of the 3d Georgi–Glashow model
The influence of various matter fields on the confining and finite-temperature properties of the (2+1)d Georgi–Glashow model is explored. At zero temperature, these fields are W-bosons, which play the role of heavy nodes, through which the quark–anti-quark string passes. This fact is shown to increase by a factor 4 √ 2 the absolute value of the coefficient at the 1/R-term in the large-distance ...
متن کاملThe monopole mass in the three-dimensional Georgi–Glashow model
We study the lattice regularised Georgi–Glashow model; three–dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory coupled to an adjoint scalar field. We examine the apparent contradiction between the conjectured analytic connection of the ‘broken’ and ‘symmetric’ phases, and the interpretation of the mass (i.e., the free energy) of the fully quantised ’t Hooft–Polyakov monopole as an order parameter to disti...
متن کاملAccounting for the finiteness of the Higgs-boson mass in the 3D Georgi-Glashow model
(2+1)-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model is explored in the regime when the Higgs boson is not infinitely heavy, but its mass is rather of the same order of magnitude as the mass of the W boson. In the weak-coupling limit, the Debye mass of the dual photon and the expression for the monopole potential are found. The cumulant expansion applied to the average over the Higgs field is checked to be c...
متن کاملComplex Monopoles and Gribov Copies
Complex monopole solutions exist in the three dimensional Georgi-Glashow model with the Chern-Simons term. They dominate the path integral and disorder the Higgs vacuum. Gribov copies of the vacuum and monopole configurations are studied in detail. 1 Monopole-supercurrent duality In the Georgi-Glashow model, SO(3) gauge theory with a triplet Higgs scalar field h, the gauge sysmetry is spontaneo...
