Continuum and Lattice Coulomb - Gauge Hamiltonian ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the canonical quantization of continuum Yang-Mills theory, and derive the continuum Coulomb-gauge Hamiltonian by a simplification of the ChristLee method. We then analogously derive, by a simple and elementary method, the lattice Coulomb-gauge Hamiltonian in the minimal Coulomb gauge (and in other Coulomb gauges) from the known Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian.

Coulomb gauge Green functions and Gribov copies in SU(2) lattice gauge theory
We reconsider the lattice measurement of Green functions in Coulomb gauge, both in 2 + 1 and 3 + 1 dimensions, using an improved gauge fixing scheme. The influence of Gribov copies is examined and we find clear indications that Green functions are more strongly affected than previously assumed, in particular for low momenta. Qualitatively, our improved lattice results in the infra-red compare m...
متن کاملGauge fixing the SU(N) lattice-gauge-field Hamiltonian.
We exactly gauge-fix the Hamiltonian for the SU(N) lattice gauge field and eliminate the redundant gauge degrees of freedom. The gauge-fixed lattice Hamiltonian, in particular for the Coulomb gauge, has many new terms in addition to the ones obtained in the continuum formulation.

متن کاملRecent results from the Hamiltonian approach to Yang–Mills theory in Coulomb gauge
Within the Hamiltonian approach to Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge the ghost and gluon propagators are determined from a variational solution of the Yang–Mills Schrödinger equation showing both gluon and heavy quark confinement. The continuum results are in good agreement with lattice data. The ghost form factor is identified as the dielectric function of the Yang–Mills vacuum and the Gribov...
متن کاملHamiltonian approach to Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge
Recent results obtained within the Hamiltonian approach to continuum Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge are reviewed. INTRODUCTION There have been many attempts in the past to solve the Yang-Mills Schrödinger equation using gauge invariant wave functionals. Unfortunately, all these approaches have not been blessed with much success2. The reason is that it is extremely difficult to work with gau...
متن کاملAnd Static Color-coulomb Field
The lattice Coulomb-gauge hamiltonian is derived from the transfer matrix of Wilson's Euclidean lattice gauge theory, wherein the lattice form of Gauss's law is satisfied identically. The restriction to a fundamental modular region (no Gribov copies) is implemented in an effective hamiltonian by the addition of a "horizon function" G to the lattice Coulombgauge hamiltonian. Its coefficient γ0 i...
