Lattice Effective Actions and Light-Quark Confinement
نویسندگان
چکیده
The positive-plaquette Manton action at weak coupling is a reasonable action for short-distance phenomena. We propose an iterative scheme for evolving this action into an effective action for longer distance scales. We report on the first step of this scheme in which we have measured “blocked” Creutz ratios with lattice spacing 2a at β = 16 on a 32 lattice and have searched for an effective action that yields the same ratios on a 16 lattice. We also suggest a mechanism for quark confinement that relies upon the lightness of the u and d quarks and formulate a way of testing it in lattice simulations of QCD.

Quark Confinement in Light-Front QCD and A Weak-Coupling Treatment to Heavy Hadrons
In this paper, we develop a weak-coupling treatment of nonperturbative QCD to heavy hadrons on the light-front. First, we present a derivation of quark confining interaction in light-front QCD for heavy quark systems, based on the recently developed light-front similarity renormalization group approach and the light-front heavy quark effective theory. The resulting effective lightfront QCD Hami...
متن کاملQuark Confinement and Deconfinement Transition in Large Flavor QCD
We give a new criterion of quark confinement/deconfinement by deriving a low-energy effective theory of QCD. The effective theory can explain Abelian dominance in low-energy physics of QCD, especially, quark confinement. Finally, we apply the above criterion to the large flavor QCD and discuss its phase structure. The result suggests the existence of conformal phase.
متن کاملQuark Propagators in the confinement and the deconfinement phases
We calculated quark propagators in the confinement and the deconfinement phases by quenched lattice QCD simulation with the clover improved fermion. The effective masses from the vector part are estimated on several lattice sizes. The masses obtained in units of T c show a rapid change after the QGP phase transition.
متن کاملEffect of light fermions on the confinement transition in QCD-like theories.
The dependence of the confinement transition parameters on the fermion content provides information on the mechanism of confinement. Recent progress in lattice gauge theories has allowed us to study it for a light flavor number N(f)~O(10) and found this transition to shift toward significantly stronger coupling. We propose an explanation for that: light fermions can occupy the chromomagnetic mo...
متن کاملDynamical Fermions in Hamiltonian Lattice Gauge Theory
Nearly all lattice studies with dynamical fermions rely on pseudofermion techniques. This includes the standard Hybrid Monte Carlo method for non-local boson actions [1] and more recently multiboson methods proposed by Lüscher [2] and extended to odd flavors by Boriçi and de Forcrand [3]. While these methods are presently the most efficient available for dynamical fermion calculations, much imp...
