Abstract

The ground state of a (2+1) dimensional Georgi-Glashow model is discussed in a dilute monopole gas approximation. In addition to the Coulomb interaction of the latter, we include a Higgs force which is attractive irrespective of the sign of monopole charges. For (Higgs masses) −1 comparable to the mean free distance of monopoles we find a phase transition which is presumably of first order. Strings of monopoles dominate the clustering behaviour near the critical Higgs mass.
