Description

We discuss the effects of rotation on confining properties of gauge theories focusing on compact electrodynamics in two spatial dimensions as an analytically tractable model. We show that the rotation leads to a deconfining transition at finite temperature starting from a certain distance from the rotation axis. We argue that the uniformly rotating confining system possesses, in addition to the usual confinement and deconfinement phases, a mixed inhomogeneous phase that hosts spatially separated confinement and deconfinement regions. Implications of our results for the phase diagram of QCD are presented.
