Su(4) Pure-gauge String Tensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In response to recently renewed interests in SU(N) pure-gauge dynamics with large N , both from M/string duality and from finite-temperature QCD phase structure, we calculate string tensions acting between the fundamental 4, diquark 6 and other color charges in SU(4) pure-gauge theory at temperatures below the deconfining phase change and above the bulk phase transition. Our results suggest 4 and 6 representations have different string tensions, with a ratio of σ6/σ4 ∼ 1.3. We also found the deconfining phase change is not strong.

High Temperature Confinement in SU(N) Gauge Theories
SU(N) gauge theories, extended with adjoint fermions having periodic boundary conditions, are confining at high temperature for sufficiently light fermion mass m. Lattice simulations indicate that this confining region is smoothly connected to the confining region of low-temperature pure SU(N) gauge theory. In the high temperature confining region, the one-loop effective potential for Polyakov ...
متن کاملWilson Loops for U(4) and Su(4) Lattice Gauge Theories in Four Dimensions
In previous studies, we examined pure U(4) [1] and SU(4) [2] lattice gauge theories in four spacet ime dimensions. Since first-order phase transitions were found in both of these theories, it seems reasonable that these theories should be studied together so that they can be compared and contrasted. To make a more detailed exploration of the phase transitions in these theories, we study the str...
متن کاملThe Maximal Abelian Gauge , Monopoles , and Vortices in SU ( 3 ) Lattice Gauge Theory
We report on calculations of the heavy quark potential in SU(3) lattice gauge theory. Full SU(3) results are compared to three cases which involve gauge-fixing and projection. All of these start from the maximal abelian gauge (MAG), in its simplest form. The first case is abelian projection to U(1) × U(1). The second keeps only the abelian fields of monopoles in the MAG. The third involves an a...
متن کاملk-string tensions in SU(N) gauge theories
In the context of four-dimensional SU(N) gauge theories, we study the spectrum of the confining strings. We compute, for the SU(6) gauge theory formulated on a lattice, the three independent string tensions σk related to sources with ZN charge k = 1, 2, 3, using Monte Carlo simulations. Our results support the sine formula σk/σ = sin k π N / sin π N for the ratio between σk and the standard str...
متن کاملConfinement and Fat-center-vortices Model
In this paper I review shortly potentials obtained for SU(2), SU(3) and SU(4) static sources from fat-center-vortices model. Results confirm the confinement of quarks in all three gauge groups. Proportionality of string tensions with flux tube counting is better than Casimir scaling especially for SU(4).
