ℤ monopoles in D = 2 + 1 SU(2) lattice gauge theory

We calculate the euclidean action of a pair of ℤ monopoles (instantons), as a function of their spatial separation, in D = 2 + 1 SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We do so both above and below the deconfining transition at T = T. At high T, and at large separation, we find that the monopole "interact...
