Lattice study of color confinement mechanism in Coulomb gauge

چکیده
We investigate the color-Coulomb confinement scenario using a SU(3) lattice gauge simulation. It is shown that the color-Coulomb heavy-quark potential, defined from the instantaneous part of the gluon propagator in Coulomb gauge, behaves as a linearly rising potential at large distances, and the resulting Coulomb string tension is greater than the Wilson-loop string tension. We study also the behavior of the color-Coulomb instantaneous part in the QGP phase. It is found that the linearity of the color-Coulomb instantaneous potential remains even at finite temperature.

Numerical Study of Gluon Propagator and Confinement Scenario in Minimal Coulomb Gauge
We present numerical results in SU(2) lattice gauge theory for the space-space and time-time components of the gluon propagator at equal time in the minimal Coulomb gauge. It is found that the equal-time would-be physical 3-dimensionally transverse gluon propagator Dtr(~k) vanishes at ~k = 0 when extrapolated to infinite lattice volume, whereas the instantaneous color-Coulomb potential D44(~k) ...
متن کاملMesons and diquarks in Coulomb-gauge QCD
I demonstrate how confinement in Coulomb-gauge QCD makes quark-quark states of the color anti-triplet (diquarks) move out of the physical spectrum. Mesons as color singlet quark-antiquark states, on the other hand have finite masses and for highly excited states in the meson spectra effective restoration of chiral symmetry can be observed. In Coulomb-gauge QCD the 00-component of the gluon prop...
متن کاملInfrared divergence of the color-Coulomb self-energy in Coulomb gauge QCD
We investigate the spectrum of the Faddeev-Popov operator in Coulomb gauge QCD using quenched SU(3) lattice simulation. In the confinement phase, we observe the accumulation of the near-zero modes of the FP operator at large lattice volumes, and the color-Coulomb self-energy diverges in the infrared limit. Moreover, even in the deconfinement phase, the behavior of the FP eigenvalue density is q...
متن کاملQuark Confinement Physics from Lattice Qcd
We study quark confinement physics using lattice QCD. In the maximally abelian (MA) gauge, the off-diagonal gluon amplitude is strongly suppressed, and then the off-diagonal gluon phase shows strong randomness, which leads to a large effective off-diagonal gluon mass, Moff ≃ 1.2GeV. Due to the large off-diagonal gluon mass in the MA gauge, low-energy QCD is abelianized like nonabelian Higgs the...
متن کاملAnd Static Color-coulomb Field
The lattice Coulomb-gauge hamiltonian is derived from the transfer matrix of Wilson's Euclidean lattice gauge theory, wherein the lattice form of Gauss's law is satisfied identically. The restriction to a fundamental modular region (no Gribov copies) is implemented in an effective hamiltonian by the addition of a "horizon function" G to the lattice Coulombgauge hamiltonian. Its coefficient γ0 i...
