2 Monopoles on the lattice and in the continuum
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the Abelian and non-Abelian action density near the monopole in the maximal Abelian gauge of SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We find that the non-Abelian action density near the monopoles belonging to the percolating cluster decreases when we approach the monopole center. Our estimate of the monopole radius is R ≈ 0.04 fm.

0 Dirac Strings and Monopoles in the Continuum Limit of SU ( 2 ) Lattice Gauge Theory
Magnetic monopoles are known to emerge as leading non-perturbative fluctuations in the lattice version of non-Abelian gauge theories in some gauges. In terms of the Dirac quantization condition, these monopoles have magnetic charge |QM | = 2. Also, magnetic monopoles with |QM | = 1 can be introduced on the lattice via the ’t Hooft loop operator. We consider the |QM | = 1, 2 monopoles in the con...

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 کاملMagnetic Monopoles, Center Vortices and Topology of Gauge Fields
Recent lattice calculations have given strong evidence for two confinement scenarios: 1. the dual Meissner effect [1], which is based on a condensate of magnetic monopoles in the QCD vacuum and 2. the center vortex picture [2], where the vacuum consists of a condensate of magnetic flux tubes which are closed due to the Bianchi identity. There are also lattice calculations which indicate that th...
متن کاملGauge Invariant SO ( 3 ) - Z 2 Monopoles as Possible Source of Confinement in SU ( 2 ) Lattice Gauge Theory
A gauge invariant procedure for extracting combined SO(3)-Z2 monopoles in positive-plaquette SU(2) lattice gauge theory is shown. When these monopoles are eliminated through a constraint, the theory deconfines for all β on 12 and 20 lattices even in the strong coupling limit, despite a rather strong average plaquette of around 0.64. This corresponds to an effective Wilson β of 2.45, at which Wi...
متن کاملA dynamic lattice model for heterogeneous materials
In this paper, the mechanical behavior of three-phase inhomogeneous materials is modeled using the meso-scale model with lattice beams for static and dynamic analyses. The Timoshenko beam theory is applied instead of the classical Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and the mechanical properties of lattice beam connection are derived based on the continuum medium using the non-local continuum theory. T...
