Monopole-Based Scenarios of Confinement and Deconfinement in 3D and 4D

Monopole-Based Scenarios of Confinement and Deconfinement in 3D and 4D

This review discusses confinement, as well as the topological and critical phenomena, in the gauge theories which provide the condensation of magnetic monopoles. These theories include the 3D SU(N) Georgi-Glashow model, the 4D [U(1)] N - 1 -invariant compact QED , and the [U(1)] N - 1...
