Broken quantum symmetry and confinement phases in planar physics

Abstract

Many two-dimensional physical systems have symmetries which are mathematically described by quantum groups (quasi-triangular Hopf algebras). In this letter we introduce the concept of a spontaneously broken Hopf symmetry and show that it provides an effective tool for analysing a wide variety of phases exhibiting many distinct confinement phenomena.
