Topological Aspect of Abelian Projected SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory
We show that the hypothesis of abelian dominance allows QCD-monopoles to preserve the topological feature of the QCD vacuum within SU(2) lattice gauge theory. An analytical study is made to find the relationship between the topological charge and QCD-monopoles in the lattice formulation. The topological charge is explicitly represented in terms of the monopole current and the abelian component ...
متن کاملTopological defects in lattice gauge theories
We present a non-perturbative formalism for measuring defect free energies (monopole mass or vortex tension) in three-dimensional SU(2)+adjoint Higgs models. Starting from twisted, translation invariant boundary conditions, we perform a change of variables that allows us to express the defect free energies in terms of ’t Hooft loops. We propose that the defect free energies can be used to disti...
متن کاملLattice Gauge Theory
Supercomputers have recently become a crucial tool for the quantum field the-orist. Applied to the formalism of lattice gauge theory, numerical simulations are providing fundamental quantitative information about the interactions of quarks, the fundamental constituents of those particles which experience nuclear interactions. Perhaps most strikingly, these simulations have provided convincing e...
متن کاملGauge fixing, families index theory, and topological features of the space of lattice gauge fields
The recently developed families index theory for the overlap lattice Dirac operator is applied to demonstrate an interplay between topological features of the space of SU(N) lattice gauge fields on the 4-torus and the existence question for G0 gauge fixings which do not have the Gribov problem. The continuum version of our considerations leads to topological obstructions to the existence of suc...
متن کاملTopological Gauge Theory and Twistors
By use of harmonic superfields, Witten’s topological gauge theory is written as a field theory on a supertwistor space. Further, using the realisation of complex compactified Minkowski space as a quadric in CP , we show that the theory has a simple formulation in terms of analytic superfields on super-CP 5 ×CP . This research was supported in part by the U.S. Department of Energy
