چکیده

The geometric properties of the critical fluctuations in Abelian gauge theories such as the Ginzburg-Landau model are analyzed in zero background field. Using a dual description, we obtain scaling relations between exponents of geometric and thermodynamic nature. In particular, we connect the anomalous scaling dimension eta of the dual matter field to the Hausdorff dimension D(H) of the critical fluctuations, which are fractal objects. The connection between the values of eta and D(H), and the possibility of having a thermodynamic transition in finite background field, is discussed.

Geometric Aspects of Confining Strings

Confining strings in 4D are effective, thick strings describing the confinement phase of compact U(1) and, possibly, also non-Abelian gauge fields. We show that these strings are dual to the gauge fields, inasmuch their perturbative regime corresponds to the strong coupling (e ≫ 1) regime of the gauge theory. In this regime they describe smooth surfaces with long-range correlations and Hausdorf...

Monopole spectra in non – Abelian gauge theories

We study the continuum limit of the length spectrum of magnetic monopole structures found after various Abelian projections of pure gauge SU (2), including the maximally Abelian gauge. We comment on Gribov copies, and measurements of the string tension.

Chiral phase transition of bulk Abelian gauge theories in the Randall-Sundrum brane world

The chiral phase transition of strong-coupling Abelian gauge theories is investigated in the brane world. It is assumed that gauge boson propagates in an extra dimension, i.e. bulk gauge theories. The phase structure is analytically evaluated by using the low-energy effective theories. We also numerically solve the ladder Schwinger-Dyson equation for the full fermion propagator including Kaluza...

A Comment on the K-theory Meaning of the Topology of Gauge Fixing

Based on the recently discovered K-theory description of D-branes in string theory a Ktheory interpretation of the topology of gauge conditions for four dimensional gauge theories, in particular ’t Hooft abelian projection, is presented. The interpretation of the dyon effect in terms of K is also discussed. In the context of type IIA strings, D-p branes are also interpreted as gauge fixing sing...

Elusive Order Parameters for Non-Abelian Gauge Theories

We construct a set of order parameters for non-Abelian gauge theories which probe directly the unbroken group and are free of the deficiencies caused by quantum fluctuations and gauge fixing which have plagued all previous attempts. These operators can be used to map out the phase diagram of a non-Abelian gauge theory. PACS numbers:11.15.-q,03.65.Bz,03.80.+r Typeset using REVTEX
