Three dimensional vacuum domains in four dimensional SU ( 2 ) gluodynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
Performing lattice simulations of the four dimensional SU(2) gluodynamics we find evidence for existence of three-dimensional domains whose total volume scales in physical units. Technically, the domains are defined in terms of the minimal density of negative links in Z(2) projection of gauge fields. The volume can be viewed also as the minimal volume bound by the center vortices. We argue that the three-dimensional domains are closely related to confinement.

Geometry of three dimensional vacuum domains in four dimensional SU ( 2 ) gluodynamics
We review briefly recent results of lattice simulations on 3d domains in the vacuum state of SU(2) gluodynamics. The defects are defined as unification of all the negative links in central projection under condition that the total number of negative links is minimized. In the continuum limit, negative links correspond, generally speaking to singular fields. The data indicate that total volume o...
متن کاملOn topological properties of vacuum defects in lattice Yang-Mills theories
We study correlations between low-lying modes of the overlap Dirac operator and vacuum defects, center vortices and three-dimensional volumes, in lattice SU(2) gluodynamics. The low-lying modes are apparently sensitive to topological properties of the underlying gluon field configurations while the vacuum defects are crucial for the confinement. We find distinct positive correlation in both cas...

We argue that two dimensional classical SU(2) Yang-Mills theory describes the embedding of Riemann surfaces in three dimensional curved manifolds. Specifically , the Yang-Mills field strength tensor computes the Riemannian curvature tensor of the ambient space in a thin neighborhood of the surface. In this sense the two dimensional gauge theory then serves as a source of three dimensional gravi...
متن کاملHints on Dual Variables from the Lattice Su(2) Gluodynamics
In many cases, topological excitations become fundamental variables in a dual formulation of the theory. Assuming this is true in case of SU(2) gluodynamics, we look for hints on the dual variables from the lattice simulations. Two-dimensional vortices, or branes with recently established properties seem to be most natural candidates. The total area of the branes scales in the physical units wh...
متن کاملMinimal U(1) gauge fields in two dimensions
Gribov copies of the vacuum in two dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge models are constructed. On the basis of this a gauge fixing algorithm is developped, wich finds the minimum of the sum of link field squares. Numerical experience in a two dimensional Higgs model with fixed length scalar field is reported and the extension to three and four dimensional U(1) and four dimensional SU(2) gaug...
