Critical exponents in U ( 1 ) lattice gauge theory with a monopole term ∗

چکیده
We investigate critical properties of the phase transition in the four-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory supplemented by a monopole term for values of the monopole coupling λ such that the transition is of second order. It has been previously shown that at λ = 0.9 the critical exponent is already characteristic of a second-order transition and that it is different from the one of the Gaussian case. In the present study we perform a finite size analysis at λ = 1.1 to get information wether the value of this exponent is universal.

On the Universality Class of Monopole Percolation in Scalar QED
We study the critical properties of the monopole-percolation transition in U(1) lattice gauge theory coupled to scalars at infinite (β = 0) gauge coupling. We find strong scaling corrections in the critical exponents that must be considered by means of an infinite-volume extrapolation. After the extrapolation, our results are as precise as the obtained for the four dimensional site-percolation ...
متن کاملCritical properties and monopoles in U ( 1 ) lattice gauge theory
We present a detailed study of the properties of the phase transition in the four-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory supplemented by a monopole term, for values of the monopole coupling λ such that the transition is of second order. By a finite size analysis we show that at λ = 0.9 the critical exponent is already characteristic of a second-order transition. Moreover, we find that th...
متن کاملMonopoles in Real Time for Classical U(1) Gauge Field Theory
U(1) gauge fields are decomposed into a monopole and photon part across the phase transition from the confinement to the Coulomb phase. We analyze the leading Lyapunov exponents of such gauge field configurations on the lattice which are initialized by quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We observe that the monopole field carries the same Lyapunov exponent as the original U(1) field. As a long awa...
متن کاملPhase structure and monopoles in U(1) gauge theory.
We investigate the phase structure of pure compact U(1) lattice gauge theory in 4 dimensions with the Wilson action supplemented by a monopole term. To overcome the suppression of transitions between the phases in the simulations we make the monopole coupling a dynamical variable. We determine the phase diagram and find that the strength of the first order transition decreases with increasing w...
متن کاملThe Universality Class of Monopole Condensation in Non-compact, Quenched Lattice Qed
Finite size scaling studies of monopole condensation in noncompact quenched lattice QED indicate an authentic second order phase transition lying in the universality class of four dimensional percolation. Since the upper critical dimension of percolation is six, the measured critical indices are far from mean-field values. We propose a simple set of ratios as the exact critical indices for this...
