We present some results about the interplay between the chiral and deconfinement phase transitions in parity-conserving QED3 (with N flavours of massless 4 component fermions) at finite temperature. Following Grignani et al (Phys. Rev. D53, 7157 (1996), Nucl. Phys. B473, 143 (1996)), confinement is discussed in terms of an effective Sine-Gordon theory for the timelike component of the gauge field A_0. But whereas in the references above the fermion mass m is a Lagrangian parameter, we consider the m=0 case and ask whether an effective S-G theory can again be derived with m replaced by the dynamically generated mass Sigma which appears below T_{ch}, the critical temperature for the chiral phase transition. The fermion and gauge sectors are strongly interdependent, but as a first approximation we decouple them by taking Sigma to be a constant, depending only on the constant part of the gauge field. We argue that the existence of a low-temperature confining phase may be associated with the generation of Sigma; and that, analogously, the vanishing of Sigma for T > T_{ch} drives the system to its deconfining phase. The effect of the gauge field dynamics on mass generation is also indicated. (38kb)
We consider a higher derivative effective theory for an Abelian gauge field in three dimensions, which represents the result of integrating out heavy matter fields interacting with a classical gauge field in a parity-conserving way. We retain terms c

Exploring the significant impacts of topological charge on the holographic phase transitions and conductivity we start from an Einstein - Maxwell system coupled with a charged scalar field in Anti - de Sitter spacetime. In our set up, the correspondi
We study the phase diagram of a generalized chiral SU(3)-flavor model in mean-field approximation. In particular, the influence of the baryon resonances, and their couplings to the scalar and vector fields, on the characteristics of the chiral phase
We study the behavior of a simple string bit model at finite temperature. We use thermal perturbation theory to analyze the high temperature regime. But at low temperatures we rely on the large $N$ limit of the dynamics, for which the exact energy sp
