A different kind of continuum limit for the three-dimensional U(1) gauge theory
In three-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory color confinement can be understood analytically through the dynamics of magnetic monopoles. However, its continuum limit is pathological, since the ratio of the glueball masses to the square root of the string tension vanishes as the continuum limit is approached....
