Correlation functions between topological objects – field theoretic versus geometric definitions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze topological objects in pure gluonic SU(2) lattice gauge theory and compute correlation functions between instantons and monopoles. Concerning the instantons we use geometric and field theoretic definitions of the topological charge. On a 12 × 4 lattice it turns out that topological quantities have a non-trivial local correlation. The auto-correlation functions of the topological charge depend on cooling for both definitions. We fit the correlation functions to exponentials and obtain screening masses.

Visualization of Topological Objects in the Deconfinement Phase of Pure Qcd *
In the last years it turned out that instantons and monopoles have a certain local correlation in four-dimensional QCD. It was demonstrated by several groups independently and by different methods that at the locations of instantons also monopoles in the maximal abelian projection can be found with enhanced probability. Further we observed such nontrivial correlation functions in the deconfinem...
متن کاملA Critical Comparison of Different Definitions of Topological Charge on the Lattice
A detailed comparison is made between the field-theoretic and geometric definitions of topological charge density on the lattice. Their renormalizations with respect to continuum are analysed. The definition of the topological susceptibility χ, as used in chiral Ward identities, is reviewed. After performing the subtractions required by it, the different lattice methods yield results in agreeme...

متن کاملCoexistence of monopoles and instantons for different topological charge definitions and lattice actions
We compute instanton sizes and study correlation functions between instantons and monopoles in maximum abelian projection within SU(2) lattice QCD at finite temperature. We compare several definitions of the topological charge, different lattice actions and methods of reducing quantum fluctuations. The average instanton size turns out to be σ ≈ 0.2 fm. The correlation length between monopoles a...
متن کاملTopological Gravity in Minkowski
The two-category with three-manifolds as objects, h-cobordisms as morphisms, and diffeomorphisms of these as two-morphisms, is extremely rich; from the point of view of classical physics it defines a nontrivial topological model for general relativity. A striking amount of work on pseudoisotopy theory [Hatcher, Waldhausen, Cohen-Carlsson-Goodwillie-Hsiang-Madsen . . . ] can be formulated as a T...
