The Berry Phase and Monopoles in Gluodynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a gauge invariant definition of a monopole on the lattice. The construction is based on the observation that for each Wilson loop there exists an extra U(1) group which leaves the loop invariant. Since the lattice formulation utilizes the language of Wilson loops, the definition of the monopole charge in terms of this plaquette dependent U(1) is gauge invariant. The explicit construction of gauge invariant monopoles is presented both in continuum and on the lattice.

0 The Berry Phase and Monopoles in Non - Abelian Gauge Theories
We consider the quantum mechanical notion of the geometrical (Berry) phase in SU(2) gauge theory, both in the continuum and on the lattice. It is shown that in the coherent state basis eigenvalues of the Wilson loop operator naturally decompose into the geometrical and dynamical phase factors. Moreover, for each Wilson loop there is a unique choice of U(1) gauge rotations which do not change th...
متن کاملMonopoles in the Abelian Projection of Gluodynamics
Abelian monopoles play a key role in the dual superconductor mechanism of confinement 1) in non-abelian gauge theories. Abelian monopoles appear after the so called abelian projection 2). According to the dual superconductor mechanism a condensation of abelian monopoles should give rise to the formation of an electric flux tube between the test quark and antiquark. Due to a non-zero string tens...

We propose to consider lattice monopoles in gluodynamics as continuum monopoles blocked to the lattice. In this approach the lattice is associated with a measuring device consisting of finite–sized detectors of monopoles (lattice cells). Thus a continuum monopole theory defines the dynamics of the lattice monopoles. We apply this idea to the static monopoles in high temperature gluodynamics. We...
متن کاملInstantons and Monopoles in Maximal Abelian Projection of SU (2) Gluodynamics
We show that the instantons induce the abelian monopoles in the Maximal Abelian Projection of SU(2) gluodynamics. As an example we consider the case of one instanton and the case of a set of instantons arranged along a straight line. The abelian monopoles which are induced by instantons may play some role in the confinement scenario. ∗E–mail address: [email protected]
