Static quark-anti-quark potential encodes important information on the chromodynamical interaction between color charges, and recent lattice results show its very nontrivial behavior near the deconfinement temperature $T_c$. In this paper…
Here we compute the static potential in scalar $QED_3$ at leading order in $1/N_f$. We show that the addition of a non-minimal coupling of Pauli-type ($\eps j^{\mu}\partial^{\nu}A^{\alpha}$), although it breaks parity, it does not change…
The dynamics of an electric charge $e$ in presence of a fixed monopole pair $\pm g$ is considered. Depending on the ratio of the angular momentum to $e\,g/c$, the effective potential may consist a minimum valley between the poles or a…
From continuum studies it is known that the Coulomb string tension $\sigma_C$ gives an upper bound for the physical (Wilson) string tension $\sigma_W$ [D. Zwanziger, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 102001 (2003)]. How does however such relationship…
We argue that the lattice data of the static potential can be explained by perturbation theory up to energies of the order of 1 GeV once renormalons effects are taken into account
