چکیده
We present a numerical method to compute path integrals in effective SU(2) Yang-Mills theories. The basic idea is to approximate the Yang-Mills path integral by summing over all gauge field configurations, which can be represented as a linear superposition of a small number of localized building blocks. With a suitable choice of building blocks many essential features of SU(2) YangMills theory can be reproduced, particularly confinement. The analysis of our results leads to the conclusion that topological charge as well as extended structures are essential elements of confining gauge field configurations.

The pseudoparticle approach is a numerical method to approximate path integrals in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. Path integrals are computed by summing over all gauge field configurations, which can be represented by a linear superposition of a small number of pseudoparticles with amplitudes and color orientations as degrees of freedom. By comparing different pseudoparticle ensembles we determine pr...

The action density distribution associated with confining flux tube is investigated in SU(2) lattice gauge theory at widely varied lattice spacing. It is argued that the gluon condensate vanishes on the string symmetry axis. We qualitatively confirm the widening of the string with increase of sources separation, however, the broadening seems to be a subleading effect. Instead, it is argued that...

We investigate ultraviolet fixed points in the real-time evolution of non-Abelian gauge fields. Classical-statistical lattice simulations reveal equal-time correlation functions with a spectral index κ = 1.5. Analytical understanding of this result is achieved by employing a 2PIloop expansion for the quantum theory.

I summarize and extend the qualitative results, obtained previously by inspection of SU(2) lattice gauge field configurations. These configurations were generated by the Wilson action, then transformed to a Landau gauge and smoothed by Fourier filtering. This leads to sharp peaks in field strengths and related quantities, the characteristics of which are very well separated from a background. T...

We examine various aspects of the conjectured duality between warped AdS5 geometries with boundary branes and strongly coupled (broken) conformal field theories coupled to dynamical gravity. We also examine compactifications with 5-d gauge fields, in which case the holographic dual is a broken CFT weakly coupled to dynamical gauge fields in addition to gravity. The holographic picture is used t...
