On the deconfining limit in (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory

We consider (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on S1×S1×R in the framework of a Hamiltonian approach developed by Karabali, Kim and Nair. The deconfining limit in the theory can be discussed in terms of one of the S1 radii of the torus (S1×S1), while the other radius goes to infinity. We find that the limit agrees with the previously known result for a dynamical propagator mass of a gluon. We also make comparisons with numerical data.
