SU ( 2 ) vortex configuration in laplacian center gauge
نویسنده
چکیده
We study how Laplacian Center Gauge identifies the vortex content of a thick SU(2) vortex configuration on the lattice. This configuration is a solution of the Yang-Mills classical equations of motion having vortex properties. We find that this gauge fixing procedure cleanly identifies the underlying vortex properties. We also study the monopole content of this configuration detected with this procedure. We obtain two monopole curves lying on the surface of the vortex. PACS: 11.15.-q; 12.38.Aw

Detection of vortices with Laplacian Center Gauge
Gauge fixing seems to be crucial to identify the relevant degrees of freedom for confinement. In the vortex theory of confinement these degrees of freedom are bi-dimensional objects carrying flux quantized in elements of the center of the group. Center gauge fixing, a gauge fixing prescription having a remaining ZN freedom, is needed to identify these objects. In this paper we study how Laplaci...
متن کاملVortex solutions in SU(N ) adjoint Higgs theories
A relationship between vortex solutions in SU(N) gauge theories with two or more adjoint representation Higgs bosons and thick vortices of Center Vortex Theory is shown to exist. There is a similar relationship between monopole solutions of SU(N) gauge theories with a single adjoint representation Higgs boson and monopoles in Abelian Projection. New vortex solutions, relevant in central gauge f...
متن کاملGauge invariant Z ( 2 ) vortex vacuum textures and the SU ( 2 ) gluon condensate
For SU(2) lattice gauge theory, a new SO(3) cooling procedure is proposed which removes the SU(2)/Z(2) coset fields from the lattice configurations and reveals a Z(2) vortex vacuum texture different from the P–vortex content obtained in the maximal center gauge. Cooling can be restricted in a renormalization group invariant way by a parameter controlling the remaining SO(3) action density. A ga...

In the framework of the center vortex picture of confinement, the nature of the deconfining phase transition is studied. Using recently developed techniques which allow to associate a center vortex configuration with any given lattice gauge configuration, it is demonstrated that the confining phase is a phase in which vortices percolate, whereas the deconfined phase is a phase in which vortices...
متن کاملGribov Copy and Complex Phase of Chiral Determinant ∗
We calculate the complex phase of chiral determinant by the vacuum overlap formula with configurations of two-dimensional U(1) gauge field fixed in Landau and Laplacian gauge. The complex phase fluctuates over the Gribov copies, which appear in the process of Landau gauge fixing and contain vortex-like singularities. In the Laplacian gauge, the fluctuation can be reduced and the phase can be de...
