First the Abelian-Higgs model in (2+1)D, i.e., XY-model coupled to lattice gauge field $a_{mu}$ with coupling $g$, is studied taking into account both the instantons and vortices. This model corresponds to integer filling of the bosons, and can be mapped to a dual superconductor. Our main resut is that the instantons introduce a term which couples linearly to the dual superconductor order parameter, and tend to pin its phase. As a result the vortex condensation always occurs due to the instantons, and the Meissner effect for the gauge field $a_mu$ is absent, although $a_{mu}$ is massive. This state is essentially the same as the confining phase of the pure gauge model. Away from integer filling, a ``magnetic field’’ $mu$ (the chemical potential of the bosons) is applied to this dual superconductor. Then the Higgs phase revives in the case of weak $g$ and large $x$, where vortices do not condense in spite of the instantons. In the opposite case, i.e., strong $g$ and small $x$, phase separation occurs, forming either microscopic patches or macroscopic stripe domains of the Mott insulating state. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9907019 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
