Finite temperature behavior of topological excitations in lattice compact QED
TLDR
In this paper, the deconfining phase transition at finite temperature in compact QED in lagrangian formulation is studied and the partition function in terms of topological excitations is explicitly shown that at large temperature these become the vortices of a system in one less dimension.About:

Symmetry aspects of finite-temperature confinement transitions
TL;DR: In this article, a review of analytical and numerical work on confinement phase transitions in finite-temperature Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories is presented, and the role of matter fields as symmetry-breaking perturbations is noted as important to the eventual unraveling of the phase structure of quantum chromodynamics.

Electromagnetic fluxes, monopoles, and the order of 4d compact U(1) phase transition
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered 4d compact U(1) gauge theory with extended action and gave a full characterization of the phase diagram of this model using the notion of flux.

Real-time dynamics in 2 + 1D compact QED using complex periodic Gaussian states
TL;DR: In this paper, a class of variational states which allows to study ground state properties and out-of-equilibrium dynamics in (2+1)-dimensional lattice quantum electrodynamics is introduced.

Monopole chains in the compact Abelian Higgs model with doubly-charged matter field
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of topological defects in the lattice compact Abelian Higgs model with charge Q = 2 matter field were studied and it was shown that monopoles and antimonopoles form chain-like structures which are dense in the confinement/symmetric phase.

Keith R. Ryan,I. C. Plumb +1 more
TL;DR: The ability to understand and control chemical reactions at a gas-surface interface is an important element for the improvement of existing technologies as discussed by the authors, where the chemical identity of the species that arrive at the surface is controlled by a complex sequence of gasphase reactions.

QCD and instantons at finite temperature
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a topological classification of finite-energy, periodic fields and the classical solutions which minimize the action in each topological sector are examined and the effects of instantons can be reliably calculated at sufficiently high temperature.
