Exact analysis of Coulomb gauge vacuum degeneracies in (2+1) dimensions
Description
The solutions of the two-dimensional euclidean sigma-model provide an infinite number of pure gauge field configurations satisfying the Coulomb gauge condition in (2+1) dimensions. For vacuum gauge fields associated with finite action instanton solutions of the sigma-model, it is found that the winding number n configuration leads to n negative eigenvalues for the ghost operator, up to a finite calculable degeneracy.
