Dual Lattice Simulations of Flux Tubes

چکیده
Abelian gauge theories formulated on a space-time lattice can be used as a prototype for investigating the confinement mechanism. In U(1) lattice gauge theory it is possible to perform a dual transformation of the path integral. Simulating the obtained dual theory (which corresponds to a certain limit of a dual Higgs model) including external sources, we perform a very accurate analysis of flux tubes with respect to the dual superconductor picture. Dual flux tube simulations are also performed in the full Abelian Higgs model, in order to obtain non-perturbative control over quantum and string fluctuations, and for a comparison to the results of dual QCD.

متن کاملSystematics of flux tubes in the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory and Casimir scaling hypothesis: folklore and lattice facts
The ratios between string tensions σD of color-electric flux tubes in higher and fundamental SU(3) representations, dD ≡ σD/σ3, are systematically studied in a Weyl symmetric formulation of the DGL theory. The ratio is found to depend on the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) parameter, κ ≡ mχ/mB, the mass ratio between monopoles (mχ) and dual gauge bosons (mB). While the ratios dD follow a simple flux count...
متن کاملWeyl symmetric representation of hadronic flux tubes in the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory
Hadronic flux-tube solutions describing the mesonic and the baryonic states within the dual Ginzburg-Landau (DGL) theory are investigated by using the dual lattice formulation in the Weyl-symmetric approach. The shape of the flux tubes is determined by placement of the colorelectric Dirac-string singularity treated as a connected stack of quantized plaquettes in the dual lattice formulation. Th...
متن کاملAnalytic Estimate of the Order Parameter for Magnetic Charge Condensation in Qcd
A possible mechanism for confinement of color is Dual Superconductivity of the Vacuum 1 2 3. The idea is that magnetic charges condense in the vacuum : the chromoelectric field acting between a q− q̄ pair is channeled by dual Meissner effect into flux tubes with energy proportional to the distance. Flux tubes are indeed observed in lattice simulations , and the corresponding field configurations...
متن کاملFlux tubes in three-dimensional lattice gauge theories.
Measurements of flux-tubes generated by sources in different representations of SU(2) and U(1) lattice gauge theory in three dimensions are reported. Heavy “quarks” are considered in three representations of SU(2): fundamental (j = 1/2), adjoint (j = 1), and quartet (j = 3/2). Wilson loops are used to introduce a static quark-antiquark (QjQj) pair. Several attributes of the fields generated by ...
