Do classical configurations produce Confinement ?

چکیده
We show that certain classical SU(2) pure gauge configurations give rise to a non-zero string tension. We then investigate cooled configurations generated by Monte Carlo simulations on the lattice and find similar properties. We infer evidence in favour of a classical model of Confinement.

The well known topological monopoles originally investigated by ’t Hooft and Polyakov are known to arise in classical Yang-Mills-Higgs theory. With a pure gauge theory it is known that the classical Yang-Mills field equation do not have such finite energy configurations. Here we argue that such configurations may arise in a semi-quantized Yang-Mills theory, where the original gauge group, SU(3)...
متن کاملCan Merons Describe Confinement?
Merons, conjectured as a semiclassical mechanism for color confinement in QCD, are topological charge-1/2, singular solutions to the classical Yang-Mills equations of motion. I will discuss how lattice techniques can extend the study of merons to nonsingular stationary solutions without destroying properties believed to be essential for confinement, and how zero modes can be used to identify th...
متن کاملUnstable Bundles in Quantum Field Theory
The relation between connections on 2-dimensional manifolds and holomorphic bundles provides a new perspective on the role of classical gauge fields in quantum field theory in two, three and four dimensions. In particular we show that there is a close relation between unstable bundles and monopoles, sphalerons and instantons. Some of these classical configurations emerge as nodes of quantum vac...

We show that the vacuum functional of 3+1 dimensional non-abelian gauge theories vanishes for some classical field configurations ψ 0 (A) = 0 when the coefficient of the CP violating θ–term becomes θ = π (mod. 2π). Some of these classical configurations are explicitly identified and include sphalerons. The results shed new light into the non-perturbative behavior of non-abelian gauge theories a...

In the presence of Chern-Simons interactions the wave functionals of physical states in 2 + 1-dimensional gauge theories vanish at a number of nodal points. We show that those nodes are located at some classical configurations which carry a non-trivial magnetic charge. In abelian gauge theories this fact explains why magnetic monopoles are suppressed by Chern-Simons interactions. In non-abelian...
