We study the Z_N symmetry in SU(N)+Higgs theories with the Higgs field in the fundamental representation. The distributions of the Polyakov loop show that the Z_N symmetry is explicitly broken in the Higgs phase. On the other hand, inside…
Gluodynamics in 3D spacetime with one spatial direction compactified into a circle of length $L$ is studied. The confinement order parameters, such as the Polyakov loops, are analyzed in both the limits $L \to 0$ and $L \to \infty$. In the…
