Wilson Loops, Bianchi Constraints and Duality in Abelian Lattice Models
We introduce new modified Abelian lattice models, with inhomogeneous local interactions, in which a sum over topological sectors are included in the defining partition function. The dual models, on lattices with arbitrary topology, are constructed and they are found to contain sums over topological sectors, with modified groups, as in the original model. The role of the sum over sectors is illu...
متن کاملAbelian Dominance in Wilson Loops
It has been conjectured that the Abelian projection of QCD is responsible for the confinement of color. Using a gauge independent definition of the Abelian projection (which does not employ any gauge fixing) we prove the Abelian dominance. In specific we prove that the gauge field configuration which contributes to the Wilson loop integral is precisely the gauge covariant part of the restricted...
متن کاملNon-abelian Wilson surfaces
A definition of non-abelian genus zero open Wilson surfaces is proposed. The ambiguity in surface-ordering is compensated by the gauge transformations.
متن کاملOn Non-Abelian Duality
A general study of non-abelian duality is presented. We first identify a possible obstruction to the conformal invariance of the dual theory for non-semisimple groups. We construct the exact non-abelian dual for any Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model for any anomaly free subgroup, and the corresponding extension for coset conformal field theories. We characterize the exact non-abelian dual for σ-mo...
متن کاملAbelian Extensions and Solvable Loops
Based on the recent development of commutator theory for loops, we provide both syntactic and semantic characterization of abelian normal subloops. We highlight the analogies between well known central extensions and central nilpotence on one hand, and abelian extensions and congruence solvability on the other hand. In particular, we show that a loop is congruence solvable (that is, an iterated...
