Abelian Dominance in Wilson Loops
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been conjectured that the Abelian projection of QCD is responsible for the confinement of color. Using a gauge independent definition of the Abelian projection (which does not employ any gauge fixing) we prove the Abelian dominance. In specific we prove that the gauge field configuration which contributes to the Wilson loop integral is precisely the gauge covariant part of the restricted potential, restricted by the Abelian projection. Our result strongly endorses the monopole condensation as the physical mechanism of the color confinement in QCD.

Abelian dominance and adjoint sources in lattice QCD.
Certain properties of maximal abelian projection are derived which suggest that the fundamental and adjoint SU(2) string tensions are reproduced by singly and doubly charged abelian Wilson loops, respectively. Thus, abelian dominance, which has been observed for color sources (quarks) in the fundamental representation, can be extended to higher representations. Numerical evidence in support of ...

We used a renormalisation group based smoothing to address two questions related to abelian dominance. Smoothing drastically reduces short distance fluctuations but it preserves the long distance physical properties of the SU(2) configurations. This enabled us to extract the abelian heavy-quark potential from time-like Wilson loops on Polyakov gauge projected configurations. We obtained a very ...
