چکیده
Recently Anishetty, Majumdar and Sharatchandra have proposed a way of characterizing topologically non-trivial configurations for 2+1-dimensional Yang-Mills theory in a local and manifestly gauge invariant manner. In this paper we develop criteria to locate such objects in lattice gauge theory and find them in numerical simulations.

Dual gluons and monopoles in 2+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory
2+1-dimensional Yang-Mills theory is reinterpreted in terms of metrics on 3manifolds. The dual gluons are related to diffeomorphisms of the 3-manifolds. Monopoles are identified with points where the Ricci tensor has triply degenerate eigenvalues. The dual gluons have the desired interaction with these monopoles. This would give a mass for the dual gluons resulting in confinement. PACS No.(s) 1...
متن کاملTopologically non-trivial configurations in 3-dimensional Yang-Mills theory
Monopoles are expected to play an important role in confining quarks in QCD. In lattice simulations, one usually looks for U(1) monopoles by fixing an Abelian gauge [1]. However it is important to have a gauge invariant way of detecting monopoles in non-Abelian gauge theories. In a recent paper [2] Anishetty, Majumdar and Sharatchandra have given a criterion for characterizing topologically non...
متن کاملA new description of lattice Yang-Mills theory and non-Abelian monopoles as the quark confiner
We propose a new description of the SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on a lattice, which enables one to explain quark confinement based on the dual superconductivity picture in a gauge independent way. This is because we can define gauge-invariant magnetic monopoles which are inherent in the Wilson loop operator. For SU(3) there are two options: the minimal option with a single type of non-Abelian magne...
متن کاملSupersymmetric duality in superloop space
In this paper we constructed superloop space duality for a four dimensional supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory with N = 1 supersymmetry. This duality reduces to the ordinary loop space duality for the ordinary Yang–Mills theory. It also reduces to the Hodge duality for an abelian gauge theory. Furthermore, the electric charges, which are the sources in the original theory, appear as monopoles in ...
متن کاملLow Energy Dynamics of Monopoles in Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theories with Hypermultiplets
We derive the low energy dynamics of monopoles and dyons in N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with hypermultiplets in arbitrary representations by utilizing a collective coordinate expansion. We consider the most general case that Higgs fields both in the vector multiplet and in the hypermultiplets have nonzero vacuum expectation values. The resulting theory is a supersymmetric quantum m...
