Polyakov's confinement mechanism for generalized Maxwell theory
Published 22 Dec 2022 in hep-th, cond-mat.str-el, and hep-lat | (2212.11568v1)
Abstract: We study fractional-derivative Maxwell theory, as appears in effective descriptions of, for example, large $N_f$ QED${}_3$, graphene, and some types of surface defects. We argue that when the theory is UV completed on a lattice, monopole condensation leads to a confining phase via the Polyakov confinement mechanism.
