Anomalous behavior in the massive Schwinger model

Abstract: We evaluate the chiral condensate and Polyakov loop in two-dimensional QED with a fermion of an arbitrary mass (m). We find discontinuous m dependence in the chiral condensate and anomalous temperature dependence in Polyakov loops when the vacuum angle θ∼π and m=O(e). These nonperturbative phenomena are due to the bifurcation process in the solutions to the vacuum eigenvalue equation. 1

“…Our simulations confirmed the known results that for m/g = 0 the quark-antiquark potential is never confining for large Lg and that for m/g = 0 it is only confining if the charge of the heavy probe quarks is noninteger. A similar result has been shown when the system is in thermal equilibrium with a heath bath for m/g = 0 [89] and m/g 1 [90][91][92]. But notice, that a critical temperature was found, above which the string tension is exponentially suppressed with the temperature.…”

“…Quite recently, the corrections to the Schwinger mass, as well as the formation of higher bound states and the chiral condensate in the massive Schwinger model, have been studied by a variety of methods. Among these methods are mass perturbation theory [18]- [22], light-front quantization [23]- [28], lattice computations [29]- [34], and a generalized Hartree-Fock approach [35]- [39]. The multi-flavour case has been discussed, e.g., by [37]- [42].…”
