String-like behaviour of 4d SU(3) Yang-Mills flux tubes

چکیده
We present here results on the fine structure of the static qq̄ potential in d = 4 SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. The potential is obtained from Polyakov loop correlators having separations between 0.3 and 1.2 fermi. Measurements were carried out on lattices of spatial extents of about 4 and 5.4 fermi. The temporal extent was 5.4 fermi in both cases. The results are analyzed in terms of the force between a qq̄ pair as well as in terms of a scaled second derivative of the potential. The data is accurate enough to distinguish between different effective string models and it seems to favour the expression for ground state energy of a Nambu-Goto string.

Adjoint String Breaking in 4d SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory
We compute the static potential of adjoint sources in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions by numerical Monte Carlo simulations. Following a recent calculation in 2+1 dimensions, we employ a variational approach involving string and gluelump operators and obtain clear evidence for string breaking and the saturation of the potential at large distances. For the string breaking scale we find...
متن کاملThe interaction between center monopoles in SU(2) Yang–Mills
We study the potential between a static center monopole and antimonopole in 4d SU(2) Yang–Mills theory. Using a new numerical method, we show that the ’t Hooft loop is a dual order parameter with respect to the Wilson loop, for the deconfinement phase transition. We observe a 3d Ising–like critical behaviour for the dual string tension related to the spatial ’t Hooft loop as a function of the t...

The loop representation of quantum gravity has many formal resemblances to a background-free string theory. In fact, its origins lie in attempts to treat the string theory of hadrons as an approximation to QCD, in which the strings represent flux tubes of the gauge field. A heuristic path-integral approach indicates a duality between background-free string theories and generally covariant gauge...

Spherically and cylindrically symmetric solutions of SU (3) Yang-Mills theory are found, whose gauge potentials have confining properties. The spherically symmetric solutions give field distributions which have a spherical surface on which the gauge fields become infinite (which is similiar to bag models of confinement), and the other solution has a potential which increases at large distances....
متن کاملGreen's Function Monte Carlo Approach to Su(3) Yang-mills Theory in (3+1)d
A 'forward walking' Green's Function Monte Carlo algorithm is used to obtain expectation values for SU(3) lattice Yang-Mills theory in (3+1) dimensions. The ground state energy and Wilson loops are calculated, and the finite-size scaling behaviour is explored. Crude estimates of the string tension are derived, which agree with previous results at intermediate couplings; but more accurate result...
