Weak universality induced by $Q=\pm 2e$ charges at the deconfinement transition of a (2+1)-d $U(1)$ lattice gauge theory

Indrajit Sau, Arnab Sen, Debasish Banerjee

Matter-free lattice gauge theories (LGTs) provide an ideal setting to understand confinement to deconfinement transitions at finite temperatures, which is typically due to the spon…
