Monopoles and vortices in pure gauge theories and in Higgs theories
نویسنده
چکیده
Smeared Abelian and center gauges are introduced in pure non-Abelian lattice gauge theories. Popular Abelian and center gauges are limits of smeared gauges. Smeared gauges are also shown to be equivalent to Higgs theories. As a result, distributions and interactions of monopoles and vortices, which are objects responsible for confinement in pure gauge theories, can be studied by investigating classical solutions of Higgs theories.

Vortex solutions in SU(N ) adjoint Higgs theories
A relationship between vortex solutions in SU(N) gauge theories with two or more adjoint representation Higgs bosons and thick vortices of Center Vortex Theory is shown to exist. There is a similar relationship between monopole solutions of SU(N) gauge theories with a single adjoint representation Higgs boson and monopoles in Abelian Projection. New vortex solutions, relevant in central gauge f...

We propose to use the different kinds of vacua of the gauge theories coupled to matter as a laboratory to test confinement ideas of pure Yang-Mills theories. In particular, the very poor overlap of the Wilson loop with the broken string states supports the 't Hooft and Mandelstam confinement criteria. However in the Z2 gauge-Higgs model we use as a guide we find that the condensation of monopol...

متن کاملCenter Vortices, Nexuses, and the Georgi-Glashow Model
In a gauge theory with no Higgs fields the mechanism for confinement is by center vortices, but in theories with adjoint Higgs fields and generic symmetry breaking, such as the Georgi-Glashow model, Polyakov showed that in d=3 confinement arises via a condensate of ’t Hooft-Polyakov monopoles. We study the connection in d=3 between pure-gauge theory and the theory with adjoint Higgs by varying ...
