Abelian Projections and Monopoles
نویسنده
چکیده
The monopole confinement mechanism in the abelian projection of lattice gluodynamics is reviewed. The main topics are: the abelian projection on the lattice and in the continuum, a numerical study of the abelian monopoles in the lattice gauge theory. Additionally, we briefly review the notation of differential forms, duality, and the BKT transformation in the lattice gauge theories. Lectures presented by Mikhail Polikarpov.

Gauge Invariant Properties of Abelian Monopoles
Using a renormalization group motivated smoothing technique, we investigate the large scale structure of lattice configurations at finite temperature, concentrating on Abelian monopoles identified in the maximally Abelian, the Laplacian Abelian, and the Polyakov gauge. Monopoles are mostly found in regions of large action and topological charge, rather independent of the gauge chosen to detect ...

متن کاملRecent Results on the Abelian Projection of Lattice Gluodynamics
We do not have much intuition in nonabelian theories, whereas our understanding of the Maxwell equations and abelian theories is far better. For this reason people are trying to explain the confinement phenomenon in terms of the abelian projection of nonabelian theory [1]. Different abelian projections lead to different abelian theories, and now it is clear that there exist at least one abelian...
متن کاملProgress in Understanding Confinement
In recent years a research program was developed to investigate dual superconductivity of the vacuum as a mechanism of confinement of color in QCD. The original idea goes back to t’Hooft and Mandelstam, and is, modulo duality transformation, the same as confinement of magnetic charges in a type 2 superconductor. The end points of an Abrikosov flux tube can be viewed as monopoles; their energy i...
متن کاملInterplay of Monopoles and P-vortices *
We show that P-Vortices in the confinement phase of SU(2) lattice gauge theory form one large percolating (infrared) cluster and a number of small (ultraviolet) clusters. We discuss the interrelation of clusters of monopoles in the maximal Abelian projection with clusters of P-vortices. To extract P-vortices we use both direct and indirect central projections and find qualitatively similar resu...
