    Gribov gap equation at finite temperature
    (European Physical Journal C, 2014-07) Canfora, Fabrizio; Canfora, F.; Salgado-Rebolledo, Patricio; Pais, Pablo
    In this paper the Gribov gap equation at finite temperature is analyzed. The solutions of the gap equation (which depend explicitly on the temperature) determine the structure of the gluon propagator within the semi-classical Gribov approach. The present analysis is consistent with the standard confinement scenario for low temperatures, while for high enough temperatures, deconfinement takes place and a free gluon propagator is obtained. An intermediate regime in between the confined and free phases can be read off from the resulting gluon propagator, which appears to be closely related to partial deconfinement. © 2014 The Author(s).

    Supersymmetric 3D model for gravity with SU(2) gauge symmetry, mass generation and effective cosmological constant
    (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2015-09) Alvarez, Pedro D.; Pais, Pablo; Rodríguez, Eduardo; Salgado-Rebolledo, Patricio; Zanelli, Jorge
    A Chern-Simons system in 2+1 dimensions invariant under local Lorentz rotations, SU(2) gauge transformations, and local supersymmetry (SUSY) transformations is proposed. The field content is that of (2+1)-gravity plus an SU(2) gauge field, a spin-1/2 fermion charged with respect to SU(2) and a trivial free abelian gauge field. A peculiarity of the model is the absence of gravitini, although it includes gravity and SUSY. Likewise, no gauginos are present. All the parameters involved in the system are either protected by gauge invariance or emerge as integration constants. An effective mass and effective cosmological constant emerge by spontaneous breaking of local scaling invariance. The vacuum sector is defined by configurations with locally flat Lorentz and SU(2) connections sporting nontrivial global charges. Three-dimensional Lorentz-flat geometries are spacetimes of locally constant negative - or zero - Riemann curvature, which include Minkowski space, AdS3, BTZ black holes, and point particles. These solutions admit different numbers of globally defined, covariantly constant spinors and are therefore good candidates for stable ground states. The fermionic sector in this system could describe the dynamics of electrons in graphene in the long wavelength limit near the Dirac points, with the spin degree of freedom of the electrons represented by the SU(2) label. If this is the case, the SU(2) gauge field would produce a spin-spin interaction giving rise to strong correlation of electron pairs. © 2015 IOP Publishing Ltd.

    The BTZ black hole as a Lorentz-flat geometry
    (Elsevier, 2014) Alvarez, Pedro D.; Pais, Pablo; Rodríguez, Eduardo; Salgado-Rebolledo, Patricio; Zanelli, Jorge
    It is shown that 2+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetimes are Lorentz-flat. This means, in particular, that any simply-connected patch of the BTZ black hole solution can be endowed with a Lorentz connection that is locally pure gauge. The result can be naturally extended to a wider class of black hole geometries and point particles in three-dimensional spacetime. © 2014 The Authors.
