Abstract

The confinement scenario in Maximally Abelian gauge (MAG) is based on the concepts of Abelian dominance and of dual superconductivity. Recently, several groups pointed out the possible existence in MAG of ghost and gluon condensates with mass dimension 2, which in turn should influence the infrared behavior of ghost and gluon propagators. We present preliminary results for the first lattice numerical study of the ghost propagator and of ghost condensation for pure SU(2) theory in the MAG.

Gauge-invariant gluon mass, infrared Abelian dominance, and stability of magnetic vacuum

Journal Article Kondo, Kei-Ichi - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We give an argument for deriving analytically the infrared Abelian dominance in a gauge-invariant way for the Wilson loop average in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. In other words, we propose a possible mechanism for realizing the dynamical Abelian projection in the SU(2) gauge-invariant manner without breaking color symmetry. This supports validity of the dual superconductivity picture for quark confinement. We also discuss the stability of the vacuum with magnetic condensation as a by-product of this result.

Vacuum type of SU(2) gluodynamics in maximally Abelian and Landau gauges

Journal Article Chernodub, M.N. ; Polikarpov, M.I. ; Ishiguro, Katsuya ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The vacuum type of SU(2) gluodynamics is studied using Monte Carlo simulations in maximally Abelian (MA) gauge and in Landau (LA) gauge, where the dual Meissner effect is observed to work. The dual Meissner effect is characterized by the coherence and the penetration lengths. Correlations between Wilson loops and electric fields are evaluated in order to measure the penetration length in both gauges. The coherence length is shown to be fixed in the MA gauge from measurements of the monopole density around the static quark-antiquark pair. It is also shown numerically that a dimension 2 gluon operator A{sup +}A{sup -}(s)more »« less

Gribov copies in the maximally Abelian gauge and confinement

Journal Article Hart, A. ; Teper, M. - Physical Review, D

We fix SU(2) lattice gauge fields to the maximally Abelian gauge in both three and four dimensions. We extract the corresponding U(1) fields and monopole current densities and calculate separately the confining string tensions arising from these U(1) fields and monopole {open_quotes}condensates.{close_quotes} We generate multiple Gribov copies and study how the U(1) fields and monopole distributions vary between these different copies. As expected, we find substantial variations in the number of monopoles, their locations, and in the values of the U(1) field strengths. The string tensions extracted from {open_quotes}extreme{close_quotes} Gribov copies also differ but this difference appears to be nomore »« less

Simulating Dirac fermions with Abelian and non-Abelian gauge fields in optical lattices

Journal Article Alba, E., E-mail: emilio.albalinero@gmail.com ; Fernandez-Gonzalvo, X. ; Mur-Petit, J. ; ... - Annals of Physics (New York)

In this work we present an optical lattice setup to realize a full Dirac Hamiltonian in 2+1 dimensions. We show how all possible external potentials coupled to the Dirac field can arise from perturbations of the existing couplings of the honeycomb lattice pattern. This greatly simplifies the proposed implementations, requiring only spatial modulations of the intensity of the laser beams to induce complex non-Abelian potentials. We finally suggest several experiments to observe the properties of the quantum field theory in the setup. - Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer This work provides a very flexible setup for simulating Dirac fermions.

Phase diagram and spectrum of gauge-fixed Abelian lattice gauge theory

Journal Article Bock, Wolfgang ; Leung, Ka Chun ; Golterman, Maarten F. L. ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We consider a lattice discretization of a covariantly gauge-fixed Abelian gauge theory. The gauge fixing is part of the action defining the theory, and we study the phase diagram in detail. As there is no BRST symmetry on the lattice, counterterms are needed, and we construct those explicitly. We show that the proper adjustment of these counterterms drives the theory to a new type of phase transition, at which we recover a continuum theory of (free) photons. We present both numerical and (one-loop) perturbative results, and show that they are in good agreement near this phase transition. Since perturbation theorymore »« less
