Confinement-deconfinement Order Parameter and Dirac’s Quantization Condition
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a monopole-like order parameter for the confinement-deconfinement transition in gauge theories where dynamical charges and monopoles coexist. It has been recently proposed in a collaboration with J. Fröhlich. It avoids an inconsistency in the treatment of small scales present in earlier definitions of monopole fields by respecting Dirac’s quantization condition for electromagnetic fluxes. An application to SU(2) lattice Yang-Mills theory is outlined, naturally fitting in the ’t Hooft scenario for confinement.

Monopole Fields from Vortex Sheets Reconciling Abelian and Center Dominance
We describe a new order parameter for the confinement-deconfinement transition in lattice SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. It is expressed in terms of magnetic monopole field correlators represented as sums over sheets of center vortices. Our construction establishes a link between “abelian” and “center dominance”. It avoids an inconsistency in the treatment of small scales present in earlier definitio...
متن کاملDfpd 00/th/52 an Order Parameter Reconciling Abelian and Center Dominance in Su(2) Yang–mills Theory
We analyze previously proposed order parameters for the confinement deconfinement transition in lattice SU(2) Yang–Mills theory, defined as vacuum expectation value (v.e.v.) of monopole fields in abelian projection gauges. We show that they exhibit some inconsistency in the treatment of small scales, due to a violation of Dirac quantization condition for fluxes. We propose a new order parameter...
متن کاملGeometric Entropy and Hagedorn/Deconfinement Transition
It has recently been proposed that the entanglement entropy can be an order parameter of confinement/deconfinement transitions. To find a clear evidence, we introduce a new quantity called the geometric entropy, which is related to the entanglement entropy via a double Wick rotation. We analyze the geometric entropy and manifestly show that its value becomes discontinuous at the Hagedorn temper...
متن کاملNon-compact QED3 at finite temperature: the confinement-deconfinement transition
The confinement-deconfinement phase transition is explored by lattice numerical simulations in non-compact (2+1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics with massive fermions at finite temperature. The existence of two phases, one with and the other without confinement of fractional charges, is related to the realization of the Z symmetry. The order parameter of this transition can be clearly ident...
متن کاملMonopoles, confinement and deconfinement in lattice compact QED in (2+1)D with external fields
Finite temperature compact electrodynamics in (2+1) dimensions is studied in the presence of external electromagnetic fields. The deconfinement temperature is found to be insensitive to the external fields. This result corroborates our observation that external fields create additional small–size magnetic dipoles from the vacuum which do not spoil the confining properties of the model at low te...
