FTUAM-99-16 Study of SU(3) vortex-like configurations with a new maximal center gauge fixing method.
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new way of fixing the gauge to (direct) maximal center gauge in SU(N) Yang-Mills theory and apply this method to SU(3) configurations which are vortex-like. We study the structure of the Z3 configurations obtained after center-projecting the SU(3) ones. PACS: 11.15.-q, 11.15.Ha

The Maximal Abelian Gauge in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory
We gauge fix 600 SU(3) β = 6.0 configurations on a 16 lattice to a simple form of the maximal abelian gauge. We project the SU(3) valued links to the U(1) × U(1) subgroup, and extract U(1) × U(1) and monopole string tensions. After gauge fixing to the indirect center gauge, the U(1)×U(1) links are projected to Z(3) and a vortex string tension is measured. The vortex and magnetic current densiti...

The maximal center gauge, combined with center projection, is a means to associate Yang-Mills lattice gauge configurations with closed center vortex world-surfaces. This technique allows to study center vortex physics in lattice gauge experiments. In the present work, the continuum analogue of the maximal center gauge is constructed. This sheds new light on the meaning of the procedure on the l...

By fixing lattice Yang-Mills configurations to the maximal center gauge and subsequently applying the technique of center projection, one can identify center vortices in these configurations. Recently, center vortices have been shown to determine the string tension between static quarks at finite temperatures (center dominance); also, they correctly reproduce the deconfining transition to a pha...

We present numerical evidence that supports the theory of quark confinement based on center vortex condensation. We introduce a special gauge (“maximal center gauge”) and center projection, suitable for identification of center vortices. Main focus is then put on the connection of vortices in center projection to “confiners” in full, unprojected gauge-field configurations. Topics briefly discus...

We introduce quantum gauge fixing (QGF) as a new class of gauge fixings. While the maximal center gauge might not show vortex dominance, the confining properties of the vortices observed in past lattice calculations are argued to have been obtained in a gauge more akin to QGF than to the strict maximal center gauge.
