Dual gluons and monopoles in 2+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
2+1-dimensional Yang-Mills theory is reinterpreted in terms of metrics on 3manifolds. The dual gluons are related to diffeomorphisms of the 3-manifolds. Monopoles are identified with points where the Ricci tensor has triply degenerate eigenvalues. The dual gluons have the desired interaction with these monopoles. This would give a mass for the dual gluons resulting in confinement. PACS No.(s) 11.15-q, 11.15 Tk Typeset using REVTEX ∗e-mail:[email protected] †e-mail:[email protected] ‡e-mail:[email protected] 1

Supersymmetric duality in superloop space
In this paper we constructed superloop space duality for a four dimensional supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory with N = 1 supersymmetry. This duality reduces to the ordinary loop space duality for the ordinary Yang–Mills theory. It also reduces to the Hodge duality for an abelian gauge theory. Furthermore, the electric charges, which are the sources in the original theory, appear as monopoles in ...
متن کاملMagnetic Condensation, Abelian Dominance, and Instability of Savvidy Vacuum in Yang-mills Theory *
We propose a novel type of color magnetic condensation originating from magnetic monopoles so that it provides the mass of off-diagonal gluons in the Yang-Mills theory. This dynamical mass generation enables us to explain the infrared Abelian dominance and monopole dominance by way of a non-Abelian Stokes theorem, which supports the dual superconductivity picture of quark confinement. Moreover,...
متن کاملQuark confinement and dual representation in (2+1)-dimensional pure Yang-Mills theory.
We study the quark confinement problem in 2+1 dimensional pure Yang-Mills theory using euclidean instanton methods. The instantons are regularized and dressed Wu-Yang monopoles. The dressing of a monopole is due to the mean field of the rest of the monopoles. We argue that such configurations are stable to small perturbations unlike the case of singular, undressed monopoles. Using exact non-per...
متن کاملYang–Mills equations and gravity
There is remarkable relation between self-dual Yang–Mills and self-dual Einstein gravity in four Euclidean dimensions. Motivated by this we investigate the Spin(7) and G2 invariant self-dual Yang–Mills equations in eight and seven Euclidean dimensions and search for their possible analogs in gravitational theories. The reduction of the self-dual Yang– Mills equations to one dimension results in...
متن کاملConfining Phase of Three Dimensional Supersymmetric Quantum Electrodynamics
Abelian theories in three dimensions can have linearly confining phases as a result of monopole-instantons, as shown, for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory broken to its abelian subgroup, by Polyakov. In this article the generalization of this phase forN = 2 supersymmetric abelian theories is identified, using a dual description. Topologically stable BPS-saturated and unsaturated particle and string soli...
