Aharonov-Bohm Effect in the Abelian-Projected SU (3)-QCD with Θ-term
نویسنده
چکیده
By making use of the path-integral duality transformation, string representation of the Abelianprojected SU(3)-QCD with the Θ-term is derived. Besides the short-range (self-)interactions of quarks (which due to the Θ-term acquire a nonvanishing magnetic charge, i.e. become dyons) and electric Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen strings, the resulting effective action contains also a long-range topological interaction of dyons with strings. This interaction, which has the form of the 4D Gauss linking number of the trajectory of a dyon with the world-sheet of a closed string, is shown to become nontrivial at Θ 6= 3π × integer. At these values of Θ, closed electric Abrikosov-NielsenOlesen strings in the model under study can be viewed as solenoids scattering dyons, which is the 4D analogue of the Aharonov-Bohm effect.

Topological and confining properties of Abelian-projected SU(3)-QCD
In this talk, we discuss several topics related to the Abelian-projected SU(3)-QCD. First of them is the Aharonov-Bohm effect emerging during the extension of this theory by the introduction of the Θ-term. Another topic is devoted to various consequences of screening of the dual vector bosons by electric vortex loops. In particular, it is demonstrated that this effect modifies significantly the...
متن کاملString representation of the SU(N)-inspired dual Abelian-Higgs–type theory with the Θ-term
String representation of the [U(1)] gauge-invariant dual Abelian-Higgs–type theory, which is relevant to the SU(N)-QCD with the Θ-term and provides confinement of quarks, is derived. The N -dependence of the Higgs vacuum expectation value is found, at which the tension of the string joining quarks becomes N -independent, similarly to the real QCD. Contrary to that, the inverse coupling constant...
متن کاملNon-Abelian Chern-Simons Quantum Mechanics and Non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm Effect
We construct a classical action for a system of N point-like sources which carry SU(2) non-Abelian charges coupled to non-Abelian Chern-Simons gauge fields, and develop a quantum mechanics for them. Adopting the coherent state quantization and solving the Gauss’ constraint in an appropriately chosen gauge, we obtain a quantum mechanical Hamiltonian given in terms of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov c...
متن کاملConfining strings in the Abelian-projected SU(3)-gluodynamics II. 4D-case with θ-term
– The generalization of 4D confining string theory to the SU(3)-inspired case is derived. It describes string representation of the Wilson loop in the SU(3)-analogue of compact QED extended by the θ-term. It is shown that although the obtained theory of confining strings differs from that of compact QED, their low-energy limits have the same functional form. This fact leads to the appearance of...
متن کاملAnalytical and Numerical Study of the Aharonov–Bohm Effect in 3D and 4D Abelian Higgs Model
We discuss the Aharonov–Bohm effect in three and four dimensional non– compact lattice Abelian Higgs model. We show analytically that this effect leads to the long–range Coulomb interaction of the charged particles, which is confining in three dimensions. The Aharonov–Bohm effect is found in numerical calculations in 3D Abelian Higgs model.
