Properties of P - vortex and monopole clusters in lattice SU ( 2 ) gauge theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the action and geometry of P-vortices, discriminating between the percolating and finite clusters. We also discuss the interrelation of the monopoles and P-vortices. To define P-vortices we use both the direct maximal center projection and indirect maximal center projection. We find, in particular, that the action density of the P-vortices in short clusters is substantially higher than in the percolating cluster. The surface of the percolating cluster appears random at short distances, with action density depending on the shape.

Vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory
We investigate some properties of thick vortices and thick monopoles in the SU(2) lattice gauge theory by inserting operators which create these excitations. Some quantities associated with the dynamical behaviour of thick vortices and thick monopoles are studied. We measure the derivative of the free energy of the vortex with respect to the coupling and we find that it falls exponentially with...
متن کاملAnatomy of Isolated Monopole in Abelian Projection of SU (2) Lattice Gauge Theory
We study the structure of the isolated static monopoles in the maximal Abelian projection of SU(2) lattice gluodynamics. Our estimation of the monopole radius is: R ≈ 0.06 fm. 1. The monopole confinement mechanism in SU(2) lattice gauge theory is confirmed by many numerical calculations (see e.g. reviews [1]). In the maximal Abelian projection monopole currents form one big cluster and several ...
متن کاملSU ( 2 ) vortex configuration in laplacian center gauge
We study how Laplacian Center Gauge identifies the vortex content of a thick SU(2) vortex configuration on the lattice. This configuration is a solution of the Yang-Mills classical equations of motion having vortex properties. We find that this gauge fixing procedure cleanly identifies the underlying vortex properties. We also study the monopole content of this configuration detected with this ...
متن کاملVortex solutions in SU(N ) adjoint Higgs theories
A relationship between vortex solutions in SU(N) gauge theories with two or more adjoint representation Higgs bosons and thick vortices of Center Vortex Theory is shown to exist. There is a similar relationship between monopole solutions of SU(N) gauge theories with a single adjoint representation Higgs boson and monopoles in Abelian Projection. New vortex solutions, relevant in central gauge f...
متن کاملVortex Structure vs. Monopole Dominance in Abelian-Projected Gauge Theory
We find that Polyakov lines, computed in abelian-projected SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the confined phase, have finite expectation values for lines corresponding to two units of the abelian electric charge. This means that the abelian-projected lattice has at most Z2, rather than U(1), global symmetry. We also find a severe breakdown of the monopole dominance approximation, as well as positiv...
