Confinement of Slave-Particles in U(1) Gauge Theories of Strongly-Interacting Electrons
Chetan Nayak
Abstract
We show that slave particles are always confined in U(1) gauge theories of interacting electron systems. Consequently, the low-lying degrees of freedom are different from the slave particles. This is done by constructing a dual formulation of the slave-particle representation in which the no-double occupany constraint becomes linear and, hence, soluble. Spin-charge separation, if it occurs, is due to the existence of solitons with fractional quantum numbers.
