### The Maxwell-BF theory in the presence of magnetic defects via the Julia-Toulouse approach

• Physics
• 2012
We use the Julia-Toulouse approach for condensation of defects to show that the topological Abelian BF term can be induced due to a condensation of electric charges and discuss how to include

### Confinement, brane symmetry and the Julia-Toulouse approach for condensation of defects

• Physics
• 2011
In this work the phenomenon of charge confinement is approached in various contexts. An universal criterion for the identification of this phenomenon in Abelian gauge theories is suggested: the

### 4D ensembles of percolating center vortices and monopole defects: The emergence of flux tubes withN-ality and gluon confinement

Ensembles of magnetic defects represent quantum variables that have been detected and extensively explored in lattice ${\rm SU}(N)$ pure Yang-Mills theory. They successfully explain many properties

### Julia-Toulouse approach to (d+1)-dimensional bosonized Schwinger model with an application to large N QCD

• Physics
• 2012
The Julia-Toulouse approach for condensation of charges and defects is used to show that the bosonized Schwinger model can be obtained through a condensation of electric charges in $1+1$ dimensions.

### Chern-Simons term in a dual Josephson junction

• Physics
• 2013
A dual Josephson junction corresponding to a (2+1)-dimensional non-superconducting layer sandwiched between two (3+1)-dimensional dual superconducting regions constitutes a model of localization of a

• Engineering
• 1979
A general theory for ordered media containing a continuous distribution of defects is desirable. The hydrodynamic theory of I. Dzyaloshinskii and G. Volovik is discussed. Another proposal stressing

### Disorder version of the Abelian Higgs model and the order of the superconductive phase transition

SummaryWe transform the Abelian Higgs model in three dimensions (i.e. the Grinzburg-Landau theory) to a disorder field theory. The new fields describe the grand canonical ensemble of vortex lines in

### Phase transitions in Abelian lattice gauge theories

We study the phase transition in the U (1) lattice gauge theory using the Wilson-Polyakov line as the order parameter. The Wilson-Polyakov line remains very small at strong coupling and becomes

### Quark Imprisonment and Vacuum Repulsion

We describe a classical field theory in which infinitely long-range forces are present. These forces do not stem from a direct interaction among particles. They have their origin in a rather peculiar
