Extraction of hadron-hadron potentials on the lattice within 2+1 dimensional QED

Abstract
A potential between mesons is extracted from 4-point functions within lattice gauge theory taking 2+1 dimensional QED as an example. This theory possesses confinement and dynamical fermions. The resulting meson-meson potential has a short-ranged hard repulsive core due to antisymmetrization. The expected dipole-dipole forces lead to attraction at intermediate distances. Sea quarks lead to a softer form of the total potential.
