On topological properties of vacuum defects in lattice Yang-Mills theories

چکیده
We study correlations between low-lying modes of the overlap Dirac operator and vacuum defects, center vortices and three-dimensional volumes, in lattice SU(2) gluodynamics. The low-lying modes are apparently sensitive to topological properties of the underlying gluon field configurations while the vacuum defects are crucial for the confinement. We find distinct positive correlation in both cases. In case of vortices the correlation is stronger.

From Confining Fields on the Lattice to Higher Dimensions in the Continuum
We discuss the relation between lattice phenomenology of confining fields in the vacuum state of Yang-Mills theories (mostly SU(2) case) and continuum theories. In the continuum, understanding of the confinement is most straightforward in the dual formulation which involves higher dimensions. We try to bridge these two approaches to the confinement, let it be on a rudimentary level. We review l...
متن کاملShrinking fermionic modes, on the lattice and in the continuum
Recent lattice data indicates that volume occupied by topological fermionic modes shrinks to zero in the continuum limit of vanishing lattice spacing. The data apparently cannot be accommodated within, say, conventional instanton model. We review field-theoretic arguments which demonstrate that the topological fermionic modes are to shrink to a vanishing submanifold of the whole four dimensiona...
متن کاملDual string from lattice Yang-Mills theory
We review properties of lower-dimension vacuum defects observed in lattice simulations of SU(2) Yang-Mills theories. Oneand two-dimensional defects are associated with ultraviolet divergent action. The action is the same divergent as in perturbation theory but the fluctuations extend over submanifolds of the whole 4d space. The action is self tuned to a divergent entropy and the 2d defects can ...
متن کاملJa n 19 99 Calculation of Wilson loops in 2 - dimensional Yang - Mills theories
The vacuum expectation value of the Wilson loop functional in pure Yang-Mills theory on an arbitrary two-dimensional orientable manifold is studied. We consider the calculation of this quantity for the abelian theory in the continuum case and for the arbitrary gauge group and arbitrary lattice action in the lattice case. A classification of topological sectors of the theory and the related clas...
متن کاملProperties of N = 1 Susy Yang - Mills Vacuums and Domain Walls
It is shown that there is no chirally symmetric vacuum state in the N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The values of the gluino condensate and the vacuum energy density are found out through a direct instanton calculation. A qualitative picture of domain wall properties is presented, and a new explanation of the phenomenon of strings ending on the wall is proposed. 1. The N = 1 supersymmet...
