- Abstract summary: We compute the partition function of the string-net model and investigate several thermodynamical quantities.
In the thermodynamic limit, we show that the partition function is dominated by the contribution of special particles, dubbed pure fluxons.
We also analyze the behavior of Wegner-Wilson loops associated to excitations and show that they obey an area law.

- Abstract: We consider a refined version of the string-net model which assigns a different energy cost to each plaquette excitation. Using recent exact calculations of the energy-level degeneracies we compute the partition function of this model and investigate several thermodynamical quantities. In the thermodynamic limit, we show that the partition function is dominated by the contribution of special particles, dubbed pure fluxons, which trivially braid with all other (product of) fluxons. We also analyze the behavior of Wegner-Wilson loops associated to excitations and show that they obey an area law, indicating confinement, for any finite temperature except for pure fluxons that always remain deconfined. Finally, using a recently proposed conjecture, we compute the topological mutual information at finite temperature, which features a nontrivial scaling between system size and temperature.
