Meissner effect and a stringlike interaction

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that a recently proposed vorticity-current-based interaction in 3+1 dimensions leads to confining strings between electrons, resulting in a linear potential and photon mass generation.

Contribution

It establishes a connection between a vorticity-current interaction and confining string-like behavior in the low-energy effective theory.

Findings

Interaction induces photon mass in 3+1 dimensions.

Corresponds to confining strings between electrons.

Results in a linear potential between charged particles.

Abstract

We find that a recently proposed interaction involving the vorticity current of electrons, which radiatively induces a photon mass in 3+1 dimensions in the low-energy effective theory, corresponds to confining strings (linear potential) between electrons.
