Phase structure and monopoles in U(1) gauge theory.
We investigate the phase structure of pure compact U(1) lattice gauge theory in 4 dimensions with the Wilson action supplemented by a monopole term. To overcome the suppression of transitions between the phases in the simulations we make the monopole coupling a dynamical variable. We determine the phase diagram and find that the strength of the first order transition decreases with increasing w...
متن کاملMonopoles, confinement and deconfinement in lattice compact QED in (2+1)D with external fields
Finite temperature compact electrodynamics in (2+1) dimensions is studied in the presence of external electromagnetic fields. The deconfinement temperature is found to be insensitive to the external fields. This result corroborates our observation that external fields create additional small–size magnetic dipoles from the vacuum which do not spoil the confining properties of the model at low te...
متن کاملCritical properties and monopoles in U ( 1 ) lattice gauge theory
We present a detailed study of the properties of the phase transition in the four-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory supplemented by a monopole term, for values of the monopole coupling λ such that the transition is of second order. By a finite size analysis we show that at λ = 0.9 the critical exponent is already characteristic of a second-order transition. Moreover, we find that th...
متن کاملMonopole percolation in pure gauge compact QED.
The role of monopoles in quenched compact QED has been studied by measuring the cluster susceptibility and the order parameter n max /n tot previously introduced by Hands and Wensley in the study of the percolation transition observed in non-compact QED. A correlation between these parameters and the energy (action) at the phase transition has been observed. We conclude that the order parameter...
متن کاملFinite temperature phase transition in the 4 d compact U ( 1 ) lattice gauge theory
We study the phase diagram of the 4d compact U(1) gauge theory as a function of the number of Euclidean time slices. We use the helicity modulus [1] as order parameter to probe the phase transitions. The order of the transition along the phase boundaries is studied and the possibility of a continuum limit is discussed. We present new, strong evidence that the T = 0 bulk phase transition is firs...
