Fractionalization of flux tubes in 3d and screening by emergent electric charges in 2d
Mendel Nguyen, Mithat Ünsal
We consider a class of 3d theories with a magnetic symmetry in which confinement is generated by charge clusters of monopoles. Such theories naturally arise in qu…

Phases of theories with 1-form symmetry and the roles of center vortices and magnetic monopoles
Mendel Nguyen, Tin Sulejmanpasic, Mithat Ünsal
We analyze the phases of theories which only have a microscopic 1-form symmetry, starting with a topological BF theory and deforming it in accordance with microscopi…
