Color Reflection Invariance and Monopole Condensation in QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the quantum instability of the Savvidy-Nielsen-Olesen (SNO) vacuum of the one-loop effective action of SU(2) QCD, and point out a critical defect in the calculation of the functional determinant of the gluon loop in the SNO effective action. We prove that the gauge invariance, in particular the color reflection invariance, exclude the unstable tachyonic modes from the gluon loop integral. This guarantees the stability of the magnetic condensation in QCD.

We study the dual Wilson loop and the inter-monopole potential(the static potential between the color magnetic monopoles) in the maximally abelian gauge to clarify the dual Higgs mechanism induced by monopole condensation. There is no (color-)electric current in the monopole part, which includes the essence of the nonperturbative QCD, and hence the system can be described by the dual gauge fiel...

متن کاملAbelianization of QCD in the Maximally Abelian Gauge and the Nambu-’t Hooft Picture for Color Confinement
We study the Nambu-’t Hooft picture for color confinement in terms of the abelianization of QCD and monopole condensation in the maximally abelian (MA) gauge. In the MA gauge in the Euclidean metric, the off-diagonal gluon amplitude is strongly suppressed, and then the off-diagonal gluon phase shows strong randomness, which leads to rapid reduction of the off-diagonal gluon correlation. In SU(2...

An effective monopole action is derived from vacuum configurations after abelian projection in the maximally abelian gauge in SU(2) QCD. Entropy dominance over energy of monopole loops is seen on the renormalized lattice with the spacing b > bc ≃ 5.2 × 10 −3Λ L when the physical volume of the system is large enough. QCD confinement may be interpreted as the (dual) Meissner effect due to the mon...
متن کاملExistence of Chiral-Asymmetric Zero Modes in the Background of QCD-Monopoles
There are two distinct pictures of the vacuum structure in QCD. One is based on the appearance of color-magnetic monopoles (QCDmonopoles) after performing the abelian gauge xing [1]. The recent lattice QCD simulations show that the dual Meissner e ect brought to the QCD vacuum by QCD-monopole condensation [2]. Hence, color con nement could be regarded as the dual version of the superconductivit...
