Magnetic Z(N) symmetry in 2+1 dimensions
Alex Kovner
This review describes the role of magnetic symmetry in 2+1 dimensional gauge theories. In confining theories without matter fields in fundamental representation the magnetic symmet…

Fundamental Matter and the Deconfining Phase Transition in 2+1 D
Gerald V. Dunne, Alex Kovner, Shinsuke M. Nishigaki
We analyze the effect of heavy fundamentally charged particles on the finite temperature deconfining phase transition in the 2+1 dimensional Georgi-Glashow model. We show that in t…

Monopoles, Vortices and Strings: Confinement and Deconfinement in 2+1 Dimensions at Weak Coupling
Ian I. Kogan, Alex Kovner
We consider, from several complementary perspectives, the physics of confinement and deconfinement in the 2+1 dimensional Georgi-Glashow model. Polyakov's monopole plasma and 't Ho…
