Yang–Mills theory in terms of gauge invariant dual variables
نویسنده
چکیده
Quantum Yang–Mills theory and the Wilson loop can be rewritten identically in terms of local gauge-invariant variables being directly related to the metric of the dual space. In this formulation, one reveals a hidden high local symmetry of the Yang–Mills theory, which mixes up fields with spins up to J = N for the SU(N) gauge group. In the simplest case of the SU(2) group the dual space seems to tend to the de Sitter space in the infrared region. This observation suggests a new mechanism of gauge-invariant mass generation in the Yang–Mills theory .

Reformulating SU(N) Yang-Mills theory based on change of variables
We propose a new version of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory reformulated in terms of new field variables which are obtained by a nonlinear change of variables from the original Yang-Mills gauge field. The reformulated Yang-Mills theory enables us to study the low-energy dynamics by explicitly extracting the topological degrees of freedom such as magnetic monopoles and vortices to clarify the mechanism ...
متن کاملYang–Mills Theory in Three Dimensions as Quantum Gravity Theory
We perform the dual transformation of the Yang–Mills theory in d = 3 dimensions using the Wilson action on the cubic lattice. The dual lattice is made of tetrahedra triangulating a 3-dimensional curved manifold but embedded into a flat 6-dimensional space (for the SU(2) gauge group). In the continuum limit the theory can be reformulated in terms of 6-component gauge-invariant scalar fields havi...
متن کاملGauge - Invariant Formulation of the d = 3 Yang – Mills Theory
We write down the Yang–Mills partition function and the average Wilson loop in terms of local gauge-invariant variables being the six components of the metric tensor of dual space. The Wilson loop becomes the trace of the parallel transporter in curved space, else called the gravitational holonomy. We show that the external coordinates mapping the 3d curved space into a flat 6d space play the r...
متن کاملReformulating Yang-Mills theory in terms of local gauge invariant variables
A long standing problem in Yang-Mills theories is whether its dynamics can be written in terms of gauge invariant variables. This is very important for our understanding of confinement in QCD. One option is to write the theory as dynamics of Wilson loops. However these are nonlocal variables and their evolution equations are difficult to handle. Another approach has been to use composite variab...

The outstanding problems in QCD are understanding the mechanisms of confinement, chiral symmetry breaking and the spectrum of the theory including the vacuum structure. Lattice gauge theories have gone a long way in shedding light on some of these important issues. Nevertheless, we are still not in a position to, say, discriminate between different mechanisms for confinement like the dual super...
