Scalar-gauge dynamics in (2+1) dimensions at small and large scalar couplings

We present the results of a detailed calculation of the excitation spectrum of states with quantum numbers JPC = 0++, 1- and 2++ in the three-dimensional SU(2) Higgs model at two values of the scalar self-coupling and for fixed gauge coupling. We study the properties of Polyakov loop operators, whic...
