Confinement in three dimensional magnetic monopole--dipole gas
arXiv:hep-th/0011124 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(01)00881-4
Abstract
Confinement of electrically charged test particles in the dilute plasma of monopoles and pointlike magnetic dipoles is studied. We calculate the tension of the string emerging between the infinitely separated test particles. The string tension is an increasing function of the dipole density provided other parameters of the plasma are fixed. The relevance of our results to confining gauge theories is discussed.
