Polyakov’s confinement mechanism for generalized Maxwell theory
Abstract We study fractional-derivative Maxwell theory, as appears in effective descriptions of, for example, large N f QED3, graphene, and some types of surface defects. We argue that when the theory is realized on a lattice, monopole condensation leads to a confining phase via the Polyakov confine...
