Monopole spectra in non – Abelian gauge theories

چکیده
We study the continuum limit of the length spectrum of magnetic monopole structures found after various Abelian projections of pure gauge SU (2), including the maximally Abelian gauge. We comment on Gribov copies, and measurements of the string tension.

Topological Study of Global Quantization in Non- Abelian Gauge Theories
We study some topological aspects of non-abelian gauge theories intimately connected to the Lie algebras of the gauge groups and the homotopy theory in the generalized gauge orbit space. The physics connection to the non-perturbative solution to strong CP problem as originally proposed by the author is also discussed. Some relevant topological formulas are also given and discussed. A result fro...
متن کاملPath Integral Quantization of Dual Abelian Gauge Theory
The path integral for 3+1 abelian gauge theory is rewritten in terms of a real antisymmetric field allowing a dual action that couples the electric and magnetic currents to the photon and each other in a gauge invariant manner. Standard perturbative abelian quantum electrodynamics reemerges when the monopole current vanishes. For certain simple relationships between the monopole current and the...
متن کاملAbelian-Projected Effective Gauge Theory of QCD with Asymptotic Freedom and Quark Confinement
Starting from SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in 3+1 dimensions, we prove that the abelian-projected effective gauge theories are written in terms of the maximal abelian gauge field and the dual abelian gauge field interacting with monopole current. This is performed by integrating out all the remaining non-Abelian gauge field belonging to SU(2)/U(1). We show that the resulting abelian gauge theory rec...

In the presence of Chern-Simons interactions the wave functionals of physical states in 2 + 1-dimensional gauge theories vanish at a number of nodal points. We show that those nodes are located at some classical configurations which carry a non-trivial magnetic charge. In abelian gauge theories this fact explains why magnetic monopoles are suppressed by Chern-Simons interactions. In non-abelian...
متن کاملMassive Monopoles and Massless Monopole Clouds1
Magnetic monopole solutions naturally arise in the context of spontaneously broken gauge theories. When the unbroken symmetry includes a non-Abelian subgroup, investigation of the low-energy monopole dynamics by means of the moduli space approximation reveals degrees of freedom that can be attributed to massless monopoles. These do not correspond to distinct solitons, but instead are manifested...
