Monopoles and deconfinement transition in SU(2) lattice gauge theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate SU(2) lattice gauge theory in four dimensions in the maximally abelian projection. Studying the effects on different lattice sizes we show that the deconfinement transition of the fields and the percolation transition of the monopole currents in the three space dimensions are precisely related. To arrive properly at this result the uses of a mathematically sound characterization of the occurring networks of monopole currents and of an appropriate method of gauge fixing turn out to be crucial. In addition we investigate detailed features of the monopole structure in time direction.

Impact of Z2 monopoles and vortices on the deconfinement transition
Suppressing Z2-monopoles shifts the line of deconfinement transitions in the coupling plane of the SU(2) lattice gauge theory with a mixed Villain form of action but it still continues to behave also like the bulk transition line. Separate deconfinement and bulk phase transitions are found on the same lattice, suggesting the two to be indeed coincident at higher adjoint couplings. Universality ...

We investigate the effect of Z2 magnetic monopoles and vortices on the finite temperature deconfinement phase transition in the fundamental adjoint SU(2) lattice gauge theory. In the limit of complete suppression of the Z2 monopoles, the mixed action for the SU(2) theory in its Villain form is shown to be self-dual under the exchange of the fundamental and adjoint couplings. By further suppress...
متن کاملThe Deconfinement Transition in SO(3) Gauge Theory
The SO(3) lattice gauge theory with a Villain form of action was investigated by Monte Carlo techniques on asymmetric lattices with Nτ = 2 and 4, where Nτ is the number of sites in the temporal extent. Unlike the results for higher Nτ , only one transition of second order was found for Nτ = 2 . An extended action with an irrelevant term to suppress Z2 monopoles enabled us to get a better view o...
متن کاملZ 2 Monopoles , Vortices , and The Deconfinement Transition in Mixed Action SU ( 2 ) Gauge Theory
Adding separate chemical potentials λ and γ for Z2-monopoles and vortices respectively in the Villain form of the mixed fundamental-adjoint action for the SU(2) lattice gauge theory, we investigate their role in the interplay between the deconfinement and bulk phase transitions using Monte Carlo techniques. Setting λ to be nonzero, we find that the line of deconfinement transitions is shifted i...
متن کاملDeconfinement transition and monopoles in T 6 = 0 SU ( 2 ) QCD
The role of monopoles in the deconfinement transition is discussed in the framework of abelian projection in the maximally abelian gauge in T 6= 0 SU(2) QCD. Only one (or a few near βc) long connected monopole loop exists uniformly through the whole lattice in each vacuum configuration in addition to some very short loops in the confinement phase and the long loop disappears in the deep deconfi...
