Nature of the phase transition in a non-linear O(2)₃ model

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We examine the gas of topological excitations in the lattice non-linear O(2)₃ model. We argue that the phase transition between broken and unbroken symmetries can be identified with that of three-dimensional scalar electrodynamics, strongly suggesting that the transition is first order.
