The lattice gauge-scalar model with the scalar field in the fundamental representation of the gauge group has a single confinement-Higgs phase which is well-known as the Fradkin-Shenker-Osterwalder-Seiler analytic continuity theorem:…
In the lattice gauge-scalar model with a single scalar field in the fundamental representation of the gauge group SU(2), we have quite recently found that there exists a gauge-independent transition line separating the Confinement and Higgs…
According to the preceding studies, the lattice SU(2) gauge-scalar model with a single scalar field in the fundamental representation of the gauge group has a single confinement-Higgs phase where confinement and Higgs regions are subregions…
The 3-d Z(2) lattice gauge-Higgs theory is cast in a partial axial gauge leaving a residual Z(2) symmetry, global in two directions and local in one. It is shown both analytically and numerically that this symmetry breaks spontaneously in…
In 1979 Fradkin and Shenker observed \cite{Frad} that if one considers a Yang-Mills theory fully Higgsed by virtue of scalar fields in the fundamental representation of the ${\rm SU}(N)$ gauge group there is no phase transition in passing…
In SU($N$) gauge-Higgs theories, with a single Higgs field in the fundamental representation, there exists in addition to the local gauge symmetry a global SU(2) symmetry, at $N=2$, and a global U(1) symmetry, for $N \ne 2$. We construct a…
We show that the Higgs and confinement phases of a gauge Higgs theory, with the Higgs field in the fundamental representation of the gauge group, are distinguished both by a broken or unbroken realization of the global center subgroup of…
The SU(2)-Higgs model, with a single Higgs field in the fundamental representation and a quartic self-interaction, has a Higgs region and a confinement region which are analytically connected in the parameter space of the theory; these…
It has been noticed long ago that in Higgs models with `complete symmetry breaking' one can move from the confinement to the Higgs regime without crossing a phase boundary, a fact sometimes called referred to as `complementarity'. In a…
Considered is the standard 4-dimensional ${\cal N}=1\,\,SU(N_c)$ SQCD with $1\leq N_F\leq N_c$ quark flavors with masses $m_{Q,i}$. {\bf The gauge invariant order parameter $\rho$ is introduced in \cite{ch1} distinguishing confinement (with…
According to recent work of Greensite and Matsuyama, the Higgs phase of a gauge Higgs theory is distinguished from the confinement and massless phases by the spontaneous breaking of a global center subgroup of the gauge group, and by…
We re-examine by numerical simulation the phase structure of the three-dimensional Abelian lattice gauge theory (LGT) with $Z(2)$ gauge fields coupled to $Z(2)$-valued Higgs fields. Concretely, we explore two different order parameters…
We discuss the conditions under which Higgs and confining regimes in gauge theories with fundamental representation matter fields can be sharply distinguished. It is widely believed that these regimes are smoothly connected unless they are…
We study a 3-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory with 4 Higgs fields which transform under the adjoint representation of the gauge group, that has been recently proposed by Sachdev et al. to explain the physics of cuprate superconductors near…
We re-examine by numerical simulation the phase structure of the (3+1)-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory (LGT) with gauge fields coupled to Higgs fields at finite temperature. Concretely, we explore two different order parameters which…
We present an efficient local hybrid Monte-Carlo algorithm to investigate G(2) gluodynamics with and without Higgs field in 3 and 4 dimensions. Additionaly we implemented a modified version of the multi-level L\"uscher-Weisz algorithm with…
The Z2 gauge-Higgs model in three dimensions has two different types of phase transition, confinement-deconfinement and Higgs magnetization. Here they are explored through two order parameters, the Coulomb magnetization which is a local…
Using a simplified lattice version of the electroweak sector of the standard model, with dynamical fermions excluded, we determine at fixed Weinberg angle the transition line between the confined phase and the Higgs phase, the latter…
Considered is 4-dimensional ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric $SU(N_c)$ QCD (SQCD) with $1\leq N_F\leq N_c-1$ equal mass quark flavors in the fundamental representation. The gauge invariant order parameter $\rho$ is introduced distinguishing…
We investigate the properties of the Confinement-Higgs phase transition in the SU(2)-Higgs model. The system is shown to exhibit a transient behavior up to L=24 along which, the order of the phase transition cannot be discerned. In order to…
