Abstract
We investigate the three-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model with a Chern-Simo ns term. We find that there exist complex monopole solutions of finite acti on. They dominate the path integral and disorder the Higgs vacuum, but elec tric charges are not confined. Subtleties in the gauge-fixing procedure in the path integral and issues related to Gribov copies are noted. (C) 1999 E lsevier Science B.V.
