From QED to Self-Dual Multicriticality in the Fradkin-Shenker Model
Thomas T. Dumitrescu, Pierluigi Niro, Ryan Thorngren
We consider the Fradkin-Shenker gauge-Higgs lattice model in 2+1 dimensions, i.e. the toric code deformed by an in-plane magnetic field. Its phase diagram contains…
Phases of Giant Magnetic Vortex Strings
Thomas T. Dumitrescu, Amey P. Gaikwad
We consider Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen magnetic vortex strings in 3+1 dimensional Abelian Higgs models. We systematically analyze the giant vortex regime using a combination of analy…
Comments on QED in a Magnetic Field
Thomas T. Dumitrescu, Juan Maldacena
We discuss the low-energy dynamics of massless Dirac fermions interacting with a propagating, relativistic photon in 2+1 spacetime dimensions, when we turn on a uniform magnetic fi…
Cascading from Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory to Confinement and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Adjoint QCD
Eric D'Hoker, Thomas T. Dumitrescu, Efrat Gerchkovitz +1
We argue that adjoint QCD in 3+1 dimensions, with any gauge group and two Weyl fermion flavors (i.e. one adjoint Dirac fermion), confines and spontaneously breaks its chira…
Symmetry Breaking from Monopole Condensation in QED
Thomas T. Dumitrescu, Pierluigi Niro, Ryan Thorngren
QED in three dimensions with an doublet of massless, charge-1 Dirac fermions (and no Chern-Simons term) has a symmetry…
Exploring the Strong-Coupling Region of Seiberg-Witten Theory
Eric D'Hoker, Thomas T. Dumitrescu, Emily Nardoni
We consider the Seiberg-Witten solution of pure gauge theory in four dimensions, with gauge group . A simple exact series expansion for the dependence of th…
