On the Interplay of Fermions and Monopoles in Compact QED_3
Simon Hands, John B. Kogut, Biagio Lucini
The infra-red properties of three-dimensional abelian lattice gauge theory are known to be governed by a neutral plasma of magnetic monopole excitations. We address the fate of the…

't Hooft loops and perturbation theory
Philippe de Forcrand, Biagio Lucini, David Noth
We show that high-temperature perturbation theory describes extremely well the area law of SU(N) spatial 't Hooft loops, or equivalently the tension of the interface between differ…

Properties of the deconfining phase transition in SU(N) gauge theories
B. Lucini, M. Teper, U. Wenger
We extend our earlier investigation of the finite temperature deconfinement transition in SU(N) gauge theories, with the emphasis on what happens as N->oo. We calculate the latent…
