Localization of Magnetic Monopoles in Compact QED

چکیده
Earlier investigations [1] showed local minima in the monopole-antimonopole potential in U(1) gauge theory on the lattice. In this paper we localize monopoles of Monte-Carlo configurations. A statistical analysis of localization measurements gives us the probability density which we compare with the potential found in [1]. We find the monopoles mainly located either in the center of three-dimensional cubes or on the interface between two cubes. This agrees with the position of minima and maxima of the monopole-antimonopole potential.

Are there Local Minima in the Magnetic Monopole Potential in Compact QED?
We investigate the influence of the granularity of the lattice on the potential between monopoles. Using the flux definition of monopoles we introduce their centers of mass and are able to realize continuous shifts of the monopole positions. We find periodic deviations from the 1/r-behavior of the monopole-antimonopole potential leading to local extrema. We suppose that these meta-stabilities m...
متن کاملComplex Monopoles and Gribov Copies
Complex monopole solutions exist in the three dimensional Georgi-Glashow model with the Chern-Simons term. They dominate the path integral and disorder the Higgs vacuum. Gribov copies of the vacuum and monopole configurations are studied in detail. 1 Monopole-supercurrent duality In the Georgi-Glashow model, SO(3) gauge theory with a triplet Higgs scalar field h, the gauge sysmetry is spontaneo...
متن کاملLow-lying Dirac eigenmodes and monopoles in 4D compact QED
We study the correlations between the fluctuations of low-lying Dirac eigenfunctions and monopoles in quenched compact QED at β=0.99, 1.01 and 1.03, employing 12 × 12 lattices and the overlap formalism for the fermion action. Near-zero modes are found to have universal anti-correlations with monopoles below/above the critical β. In contrast to the result in QCD by Garcia-Garcia and Osborn, near...
متن کاملA Microscopic Semiclassical Connning Eld Equation for U(1) Lattice Gauge Theory in 2+1 Dimensions I Introduction
We present a semiclassical nonlinear eld equation for the connning eld in 2+1{dimensional U (1) lattice gauge theory (compact QED). The equation is derived directly from the underlying microscopic quantum Hamiltonian by means of truncation. Its nonlinearities express the dynamic creation of magnetic monopole currents leading to the connnement of the electric eld between two static electric char...

The existence of the monopole condensation transition reported by Koci´c et al. [1] in non-compact, quenched QED is tested. No phase transition is found. This shows that divergence of the 'monopole susceptibility' introduced by Hands and Wensley [2] is not a reliable indicator of second order phase transitions. In view of these results I discuss claims [3] that the chiral phase transition seen ...
