Wilson Loop Expectations for Non-Abelian Gauge Fields Coupled to a Higgs Boson at Low and High Disorder

Abstract

We consider computations of Wilson loop expectations to leading order at large $\beta$ in the case where a non-abelian gauge field interacts with a Higgs boson. By identifying the main order contributions from minimal vortices, we can express the Wilson loop expectations via an explicit Poisson random variable. This paper treats multiple cases of interests, including the Higgs boson at low and high disorder, and finds efficient polymer expansion like computations for each of these regimes.
