Kosterlitz-Thouless-like deconfinement mechanism in the 2+1 dimensional Abelian Higgs model
Hagen Kleinert, Flavio S. Nogueira, Asle Sudbo
We point out that the permanent confinement in a compact 2+1-dimensional U(1) Abelian Higgs model is destroyed by matter fields in the fundamental representation. The deconfinement…

Deconfinement transition in three-dimensional compact U(1) gauge theories coupled to matter fields
Hagen Kleinert, Flavio S. Nogueira, Asle Sudbo
It is shown that permanent confinement in three-dimensional compact U(1) gauge theory can be destroyed by matter fields in a deconfinement transition. This is a consequence of a no…
