We study an extreme non-static limit of 2+1-dimensional QED obtained by making a dimensional reduction so that all fields are spatially uniform but time dependent. This dimensional reduction leads to a 0+1-dimensional field theory that…

We study the Gibbs equilibrium of a classical 2D Coulomb gas in the determinantal case = 2. The external potential is the sum of a quadratic term and the potential generated by individual charges pinned in several extended groups. This…

We consider a two-dimensional Coulomb gas of positive and negative pointlike unit charges interacting via a logarithmic potential. The density (rather than the charge) correlation functions are studied. In the bulk, the form-factor theory…

Motivated by the recent shocking results from RHIC and LHC that show quark-gluon plasma signatures in small systems, we study a simple model of a massless, noninteracting scalar field confined with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We use this…

The existence of a discontinuity in the inverse dielectric constant of the two-dimensional Coulomb gas is demonstrated on purely numerical grounds. This is done by expanding the free energy in an applied twist and performing a finite-size…

In a Coulomb fluid confined to a domain $V$, the dielectric susceptibility tensor $\chi_V$ depends on the shape of $V$, even in the thermodynamic $V\to\infty$ limit. This paper deals with the classical two-dimensional one-component plasma…

We prove that, at arbitrary positive temperature, every infinite-volume local limit point of the two-dimensional one-component plasma (2DOCP, also known as Coulomb or log-gas, or jellium) satisfies a system of Dobrushin-Lanford-Ruelle (DLR)…

A two-component Coulomb gas confined by walls made of ideal dielectric material is considered. In two dimensions at the special inverse temperature $\beta = 2$, by using the Pfaffian method, the system is mapped onto a four-component Fermi…
