Electrodynamics in 2+1 Dimensions - Force and Low Energy Behavior

Explore advanced concepts in electrodynamics through this one-hour physics seminar presented by Zohar Komargodski from Stony Brook University. Delve into the strongly interacting nature of electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions and examine its low-energy behavior patterns. Learn about crucial distinctions between R gauge theory and U(1) gauge theory while investigating the forces between fractionalized charges. Based on collaborative research with S. Chester and ongoing work with T. Dumitrescu and R. Thorngren, gain insights into how recent theoretical proposals align with multiple consistency checks in this complex field of physics.
