Partitioning of electric and magnetic energy in SU(2) gauge theory
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been known for over twenty years that the Coulomb solution in Maxwellian electro/magneto-statics for a point charge at the origin in 3-space is unstable when embedded in a non-abelian gauge theory with large coupling constant. A version of this phenomenon was first seen by Mandula [Ma] and other manifestations of it were described in some detail by Sikivie and Weiss [SW1]-[SW3], Jackiw, Jacobs and Rebbi [JKR], Jackiw and Rossi [JR] and in Jackiw’s lecture notes, [J].

Electric and Magnetic Fluxes in SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory
For pure SU(N) gauge theory without quarks ’t Hooft’s gauge invariant electric and magnetic fluxes [1] describe, respectively, the effect of a static fundamental color charge and a center monopole in a finite volume. The partition function of a certain amount of electric/magnetic flux yields the free energy of a static electric/magnetic charge with boundary conditions to imitate the presence of...
متن کاملThe Non-Perturbative O(g6) Contribution to the Free Energy of Hot SU(N) Gauge Theory
Perturbation theory in its original formulation fails beyond O(g5) in the calculation of the free energy density of non-Abelian gauge theories [1]. Very recently Braaten [2] has pointed out that the coefficients of the higher powers in the weak coupling expansion can be determined by invoking non-perturbative information from the effective theory of three-dimensional static magnetic fluctuation...
متن کاملDeformations of the SUSY SU(5) Theory with an Antisymmetric Tensor
The N=1 supersymmetric gauge SU(5) theory with one antisymmetric tensor, n + 3 fundamentals and n + 4 antifundamentals has dual magnetic theories in the infrared. By introducing extra singlet fields and tree level superpotential terms to the electric SU(5) theories, we are able to make the magnetic dual theories flow to the known SU(n) × SU(2) gauge theories which break supersymmetry dynamicall...
متن کاملAbelianization of Low Energy Su(2) Effective Action
Recently Faddeev and Niemi proposed a low energy effective action for pure SU(2) Yang Mills theory in 4 dimension to describe its long distance physics. The effective action is O(3) σ model with a mass parameter, a dimensionless coupling constant e and a topological term. In this work, choosing a new set of variables, we relate this σ model to a U(1) gauge theory with electric and magnetic char...
متن کاملScreening in Hot SU(2) Gauge Theory and Propagators in 3d Adjoint Higgs model
We investigate the large distance behavior of the electric and magnetic propagators of hot SU(2) gauge theory in different gauges using lattice simulations of the full 4d theory and the effective, dimensionally reduced 3d theory. A comparison of the 3d and 4d data for the propagators suggests that dimensional reduction works surprisingly well down to temperatures T ∼ 2Tc. A detailed study of th...
