Confinement and scaling of the vortex vacuum of SU ( 2 ) lattice gauge theory ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
The magnetic vortices which arise in SU(2) lattice gauge theory in center projection are visualized for a given time slice. We establish that the number of vortices piercing a given 2-dimensional sheet is a renormalization group invariant and therefore physical quantity. We find that roughly 2 vortices pierce an area of 1 fm. ∗ Supported in part by DFG under contract Re 856/1–3.

Interaction of confining vortices in SU ( 2 ) lattice gauge theory ∗
Center projection of SU(2) lattice gauge theory allows to isolate magnetic vortices as confining configurations. The vortex density scales according to the renormalization group, implying that the vortices are physical objects rather than lattice artifacts. Here, the binary correlations between points at which vortices pierce a given plane are investigated. We find an attractive interaction bet...
متن کاملGauge invariant Z ( 2 ) vortex vacuum textures and the SU ( 2 ) gluon condensate
For SU(2) lattice gauge theory, a new SO(3) cooling procedure is proposed which removes the SU(2)/Z(2) coset fields from the lattice configurations and reveals a Z(2) vortex vacuum texture different from the P–vortex content obtained in the maximal center gauge. Cooling can be restricted in a renormalization group invariant way by a parameter controlling the remaining SO(3) action density. A ga...

We present numerical evidence that supports the theory of quark confinement based on center vortex condensation. We introduce a special gauge (“maximal center gauge”) and center projection, suitable for identification of center vortices. Main focus is then put on the connection of vortices in center projection to “confiners” in full, unprojected gauge-field configurations. Topics briefly discus...
متن کاملMonopoles, vortices and confinement in SU(3) gauge theory
We compute, in SU(3) pure gauge theory, the vacuum expectation value (vev) of the operator which creates a Z3 vortex wrapping the lattice through periodic boundary conditions (dual Polyakov line). The technique used is the same already tested in the SU(2) case. The dual Polyakov line proves to be a good disorder parameter for confinement, and has a similar behaviour to the monopole condensate. ...
متن کاملDetection of Center Vortices in the Lattice Yang-Mills Vacuum
We discuss the implementation of the “direct” maximal center gauge (a gauge which maximizes the lattice average of the squared-modulus of the trace of link variables), and its use in identifying Z2 center vortices in Yang-Mills vacuum configurations generated by lattice Monte Carlo. We find that center vortices identified in the vacuum state account for the full asymptotic string tension. Scali...
