TL;DR
This paper explores the existence of mixed phases in various gauge theories, where different types of condensates coexist, and discusses the transition mechanisms between dual phases across multiple models.
Contribution
It introduces the concept of a mixed phase as an intermediate state in phase transitions of gauge theories, expanding understanding of their vacuum structures.
Findings
Identification of mixed phases in several gauge theories.
Description of transition mechanisms between dual phases.
Analysis of vacuum condensate configurations.
Abstract
In many gauge theories at different values of parameters entering Lagrangian, the vacuum is dominated by coherent condensates of different mutually non-local fields (for instance, by condensates of electric or magnetic charges, or by various dyons). It is argued that the transition between these "dual to each other" phases proceeds through the intermediate "mixed phase", having qualitatively different features. The examples considered include: ordinary YM, N=1 SYM, N=1 SQCD, and broken N=2 SYM and SQCD.
