Random percolation as a gauge theory
Three-dimensional bond or site percolation theory on a lattice can be interpreted as a gauge theory in which the Wilson loops are viewed as counters of topological linking with random clusters. Beyond the percolation threshold large Wilson loops decay with an area law and show the universal shape effects due to flux tube quantum fluctuations like in ordinary confining gauge theories. Wilson loo...
متن کاملThe monopole mass in the random percolation gauge theory
We study the behaviour of the monopole at finite temperature in the (2 + 1)-dimensional lattice gauge theory dual to the percolation model; by exploiting the correspondences to statistical systems , we possess powerful tools to evaluate the monopole mass both above and below the critical temperature with high-precision Monte Carlo simulations.
متن کاملGauge Theory as Hodge Theory
In the framework of an extended BRST formalism, it is shown that the four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form (notoph) gauge theory presents an example of a tractable field theoretical model for the Hodge theory.
متن کاملPercolation and Critical Behaviour in SU ( 2 ) Gauge Theory ∗
The paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition in the Ising model can be described as percolation of suitably defined clusters. We have tried to extend such picture to the confinement-deconfinement transition of SU (2) pure gauge theory, which is in the same universality class of the Ising model. The cluster definition is derived by approximating SU (2) by means of Ising-like effective theories. The...
متن کاملStochastic Mechanics as a Gauge Theory
We introduce a classical diffusion process which provides a full description of non-relativistic quantum mechanics and has the form of a Z4 gauge theory. We first define a stochastic process on a discretization of physical space of the form (aZ)3, where a is an elementary length scale. We then lift this process to the principal bundle (aZ)3 × Z4. Nonrelativistic quantum mechanics is recovered i...
