Charge Screening and Confinement in Hot 3-D QED
G. Grignani, G. Semenoff, P. Sodano +1
We examine the possibility of a confinement-deconfinement phase transition at finite temperature in both parity invariant and topologically massive three-dimensional quantum electr…
A Pseudoclassical Model for Invariant Planar Fermions
G. Grignani, M. Plyushchay, P. Sodano
A pseudoclassical model is proposed for the description of planar invariant massive fermions. The quantization of the model leads to the (2+1)-dimensional invariant fer…
Confinement-Deconfinement Transition in 3-Dimensional QED
G. Grignani, G. Semenoff, P. Sodano
We argue that, at finite temperature, parity invariant non-compact electrodynamics with massive electrons in 2+1 dimensions can exist in both confined and deconfined phases. We sho…
Polyakov Loops in 2D QCD
G. Grignani, G. Semenoff, P. Sodano
We discuss SU(N) gluo-dynamics at finite temperature and on a spatial circle. We show that the effective action for the Polyakov Loop operator is a one dimensional gauged SU(N) pri…
