Confinement and screening of the Schwinger model on the Poincare half   plane
  We discuss the confining features of the Schwinger model on the Poincare half plane. We show that despite the fact that the expectation value of the large Wilson loop of massless Schwinger model displays the perimeter behavior, the system can be in confining phase due to the singularity of the metric at horizontal axis. It is also shown that in the quenched Schwinger model, the area dependence of the Wilson loop, in contrast to the flat case, is a not a sign of confinement and the model has a finite energy even for large external charges separation. The presence of dynamical fermions can not modify the screening or the confining behavior of the system. Finally we show that in the massive Schwinger model, the system is again in screening phase. The zero curvature limit of the solutions is also discussed.
