Monopoles and confinement in three dimensions

The string tension is calculated using magnetic monopoles in three-dimensional U(1) lattice gauge theory. The monopoles are identified in configurations of link angles generated in a simulation on a 32{sup 3} lattice. Wilson-loop values are determined by the monopoles' flux through the loop. Th...

Zusammenfassung:	The string tension is calculated using magnetic monopoles in three-dimensional U(1) lattice gauge theory. The monopoles are identified in configurations of link angles generated in a simulation on a 32{sup 3} lattice. Wilson-loop values are determined by the monopoles' flux through the loop. The string-tension results are in excellent agreement with a semiclassical analytic formula.
