Nonperturbative solution of the nonconfining Schwinger model with a generalized regularization

The nonconfining Schwinger model(4) is studied with a one-parameter class of kinetic energy-like regularization. It may be thought of as a generalization over the regularization considered in Ref. 4. The phase space structure has been determined in this new situation. The mass of the gauge boson acquires a generalized expression with the bare coupling constant and the parameters involved in the regularization. The confinement and deconfinement scenario has been studied at the quark-antiquark potential level.
