Polyakov model in ’t Hooft flux background: a quantum mechanical reduction with memory

Abstract We construct a compactification of Polyakov model on T 2 × ℝ down to quantum mechanics which remembers non-perturbative aspects of field theory even at an arbitrarily small area. Standard compactification on small T 2 × ℝ possesses a unique perturbative vacuum (zero magnetic flux state), se...
