Instability of Abelian Field Configurations in Yang - Mills Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that static purely electric or purely magnetic abelian field configurations in Yang-Mills theory are unstable when the electric or magnetic field strength is too large over too wide a region. The critical parameter is gEL2 (gBL2) where E (B) is a measure of the field strength, and L is a measure of the distance over which such field strengths extend.

Fluctuation Spectra of Tilted and Intersecting D-branes from the Born-Infeld Action
We consider the spectra of excitations around diagonal and intersecting D-brane configurations on tori. These configurations are described by constant curvature connections in a dual gauge theory description. The low-energy string fluctuation spectrum is reproduced exactly by the gauge theory in the case of vanishing field strength; however, this correspondence breaks down for fixed nonzero fie...

We show that a certain type of color magnetic condensation originating from magnetic monopole configurations is sufficient to provide the mass for off-diagonal gluons in the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory under the Cho–Faddeev– Niemi decomposition. In fact, such magnetic condensation is shown to occur by calculating the effective potential within the BRST quantization. This enables us to explain the i...

Classical dynamics of SU(2) model gauge field system with Higgs field is considered in the homogeneous nonperturbative self-dual vacuum field. The regions of instability in parametric space are detected and described analytically. Introduction Much attention has been paid in the last decade to chaos in quantum field theory. At first, non-abelian Yang-Mills gauge fields were investigated without...
متن کاملBogomol’nyi Equations for Einstein–Yang–Mills–Dilaton theory
A static, spherically symmetric and purely magnetic solution of the Einstein-YangMills-Dilaton theory, found previously by numerical integration is shown to obey a system of first order Bogomol’nyi equations. As common for such equations, there is a tight relation to supersymmetry, in the present case to the N=4 gauged SU(2)×SU(2) supergravity of Freedman and Schwarz. Specifically, the dilaton ...
متن کاملMagnetic Condensation, Abelian Dominance, and Instability of Savvidy Vacuum in Yang-mills Theory *
We propose a novel type of color magnetic condensation originating from magnetic monopoles so that it provides the mass of off-diagonal gluons in the Yang-Mills theory. This dynamical mass generation enables us to explain the infrared Abelian dominance and monopole dominance by way of a non-Abelian Stokes theorem, which supports the dual superconductivity picture of quark confinement. Moreover,...
