2d affine XY-spin model/ 4d gauge theory duality and deconfinement
Mohamed M. Anber, Erich Poppitz, Mithat Unsal
We introduce a duality between two-dimensional XY-spin models with symmetry-breaking perturbations and certain four-dimensional SU(2)and SU(2)/Z_2 gauge theories, compactified on a…

Seiberg-Witten and "Polyakov-like" magnetic bion confinements are continuously connected
Erich Poppitz, Mithat Unsal
We study four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric pure-gauge (Seiberg-Witten) theory and its N=1 mass perturbation by using compactification S**1 x R**3. It is well known that on R**4 (…
