We study correlations functions of magnetic vortices $V$ and Polyakov loop $P$ operators in the 2+1 dimensional Georgi-Glashow model in the vicinity of the deconfining phase transition. In this regime the (dimensionally reduced) model is mapped onto a free theory of two massive Majorana fermions. We utilize this fermionic representation to explicitly calculate the expectation values of $V$ and $P$ as well as their correlators. In particular we show that the $VV$ correlator is large, and thus the anomalous breaking of the magnetic $U(1)$ symmetry is order one effect in the near critical region. We also calculate the contribution of magnetic vortices to the entropy and the free energy of the system.

We study the finite-temperature properties of the supersymmetric version of (2+1)D Georgi-Glashow model. As opposed to its nonsupersymmetric counterpart, the parity symmetry in this theory at zero temperature is spontaneously broken by the bilinear p hotino condensate. We find that as the temperature is raised, the deconfinement and the parity restoration occur in this model at the same point $T_c=g^2/8pi$. The transition is continuous, but is not of the Ising type as in nonsupersymmetric Georgi-Glashow model, but rather of the Berezinsky-Kosterlitz-Thouless type as in $Z_4$-invariant spin model.
The classic argument by Polyakov showing that monopoles produce confinement in the Higgs phase of the Georgi-Glashow model is generalized to study the spectrum of k-strings. We find that the leading-order low-density approximation yields Casimir scal ing in the weakly-coupled 3-d SU(N) Georgi-Glashow model. Corrections to the Casimir formula are considered. When k is of the order of N, the non-diluteness effect is of the same order as the leading term, indicating that non-diluteness can significantly change the Casimir-scaling behavior. The correction produced by the propagating Higgs field is also studied and found to increase, together with the non-diluteness effect, the Casimir-scaling ratio. Furthermore, a correction due to closed k-strings is also computed and is shown to yield the same k-dependence as the one due to non-diluteness, but with the opposite sign and a nontrivial N-dependence. Finally, we consider the possible implications of our analysis for the SU(N) analogue of compact QED in four dimensions.
The nature of the deconfining phase transition in the 2+1-dimensional SU(N) Georgi-Glashow model is investigated. Within the dimensional-reduction hypothesis, the properties of the transition are described by a two-dimensional vectorial Coulomb gas m odels of electric and magnetic charges. The resulting critical properties are governed by a generalized SU(N) sine-Gordon model with self-dual symmetry. We show that this model displays a massless flow to an infrared fixed point which corresponds to the Z$_N$ parafermions conformal field theory. This result, in turn, supports the conjecture of Kogan, Tekin, and Kovner that the deconfining transition in the 2+1-dimensional SU(N) Georgi-Glashow model belongs to the Z$_N$ universality class.
The topology of orientable (2 + 1)d spacetimes can be captured by certain lumps of non-trivial topology called topological geons. They are the topological analogues of conventional solitons. We give a description of topological geons where the degree s of freedom related to topology are separated from the complete theory that contains metric (dynamical) degrees of freedom. The formalism also allows us to investigate processes of quantum topology change. They correspond to creation and annihilation of quantum geons. Selection rules for such processes are derived.

A famous example of gauge/gravity duality is the result that the entropy density of strongly coupled ${cal N}=4$ SYM in four dimensions for large N is exactly 3/4 of the Stefan-Boltzmann limit. In this work, I revisit the massless O(N) model in 2+1 d imensions, which is analytically solvable at finite temperature $T$ for all couplings $lambda$ in the large N limit. I find that the entropy density monotonically decreases from the Stefan-Boltzmann limit at $lambda=0$ to exactly 4/5 of the Stefan-Boltzmann limit at $lambda=infty$. Calculating the retarded energy-momentum tensor correlator in the scalar channel at $lambda=infty$, I find that it has two logarithmic branch cuts originating at $omega=pm 4 T ln frac{1+sqrt{5}}{2}$, but no singularities in the whole complex frequency plane. I show that the ratio 4/5 and the location of the branch points both are universal within a large class of bosonic CFTs in 2+1 dimensions.
