Proof of entropic order in Generalized Ising Models
Enrico Andriolo, Mendel Nguyen, Emily Richards +1
Ordering at arbitrarily high temperature - entropic order - has been argued to take place in a class of generalized Ising models parameterised by a real interaction parameter w…
Generalized Yang-Mills theory: Interpolating between SDYM and YM
Tolga Domurcukgül, Hao Geng, Mendel Nguyen +1
We construct a generalized Yang-Mills (YM) theory with two real couplings, interpolating continuously between the Self-Dual Yang-Mills (SDYM) limit (also called Chalmers-Siegel the…
Self-dual monopole loops, instantons and confinement
Mendel Nguyen, Mithat Ãnsal
It is well-known that the standard instanton analysis in 4d Yang-Mills is plagued with the instanton size moduli problem, which renders the instanton contribution to vacuum energy…
Fractionalization of flux tubes in 3d and screening by emergent electric charges in 2d
Mendel Nguyen, Mithat Ãnsal
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…
