چکیده
where Dμφ = ∂μφ + i[Aμ, φ] with φ = φ σ/2. The model has 3 dimensionful bare parametrs, g = [mass],m0 = [mass], μ = [mass], which can be rewritten in terms of 1 dimensionful parameter, g, and 2 dimensionless, y = m20/g , x = μ/2g. When the adjoint scalar field acquires a non-zero vacuum expectation value (vev), the Higgs mechanism takes place and SU(2) is dinamically broken to U(1); as a consequence two gauge bosons, W, acquire a mass. At tree level, one finds M W±/g 4 = −x/y and M γ = 0, while the Higgs boson has a mass M H/g 4 = 2y and a vev φφ = −yg/x. Magnetic monopoles solutions [1,2] are instantons in the 3D case. Monopoles influence both the charged and neutral sector of the theory: they provide at the same time a mechanism of con-

3d Georgi–glashow Model and Confining Strings at Zero and Finite Temperatures
In this review, we discuss the confining and finite-temperature properties of the 3D SU(N) Georgi–Glashow model, and of 4D compact QED. At zero temperature, we derive string representations of both theories, thus constructing the SU(N) version of Polyakov’s theory of confining strings. We discuss the geometric properties of confining strings, as well as the appearance of the string θ term from ...
متن کاملSUSY 3D Georgi - Glashow model at finite temperature
We study the finite-temperature properties of the supersymmetric version of (2+1)D GeorgiGlashow model. As opposed to its nonsupersymmetric counterpart, the parity symmetry in this theory at zero temperature is spontaneously broken by the bilinear photino condensate. We find that as the temperature is raised, the deconfinement and the parity restoration occur in this model at the same point Tc ...
متن کاملDeconfining phase transition in the 3D Georgi-Glashow model with finite Higgs-boson mass
The (2+1)D Georgi-Glashow model is explored at finite temperature in the regime when the Higgs boson is not infinitely heavy. The resulting Higgs-mediated interaction of monopoles leads to the appearance of a certain upper bound for the parameter of the weak-coupling approximation. Namely, when this bound is exceeded, the cumulant expansion used for the average over the Higgs field breaks down....
متن کاملRenormalization-group Flow in the 3d Georgi-glashow Model
The renormalization-group (RG) flow in the finite-temperature (2+1)-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model is explored. This is done in the limit when the squared electric coupling constant is much larger than the mass of the Higgs field. The novel equation describing the evolution of the Higgs mass is derived and integrated along the separatrices of the RG flow in the limit when the original theory ...

Semiclassical instanton solutions in the 3D SU(2) Georgi-Glashow model are transformed into the Weyl gauge. This illustrates the tunneling interpretation of these instantons and provides a smooth regularization of the singular unitary gauge. The 3D Georgi-Glashow model has both instanton and sphaleron solutions, in contrast to 3D Yang-Mills theory which has neither, and 4D Yang-Mills theory whi...
متن کاملInfluence of matter fields on the (de-)confining properties of the 3d Georgi–Glashow model
The influence of various matter fields on the confining and finite-temperature properties of the (2+1)d Georgi–Glashow model is explored. At zero temperature, these fields are W-bosons, which play the role of heavy nodes, through which the quark–anti-quark string passes. This fact is shown to increase by a factor 4 √ 2 the absolute value of the coefficient at the 1/R-term in the large-distance ...
