Magnetic Monopole Loops supported by a Meron pair as the Quark Confiner
Kei-Ichi Kondo, Nobuyuki Fukui, Akihiro Shibata +1
We give an analytical solution representing circular magnetic monopole loops joining a pair of merons in the four-dimensional Euclidean SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. This is achieved by…
Reformulating SU(N) Yang-Mills theory based on change of variables
Kei-Ichi Kondo, Toru Shinohara, Takeharu Murakami
We propose a new version of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory reformulated in terms of new field variables which are obtained by a nonlinear change of variables from the original Yang-Mills…
Wilson loop and magnetic monopole through a non-Abelian Stokes theorem
Kei-Ichi Kondo
We show that the Wilson loop operator for SU(N) Yang-Mills gauge connection is exactly rewritten in terms of conserved gauge-invariant magnetic and electric currents through a non-…
Magnetic monopoles and center vortices as gauge-invariant topological defects simultaneously responsible for confinement
Kei-Ichi Kondo
We give a gauge-invariant definition of the vortex surface in SU(N) Yang-Mills theory without using the gauge fixing procedure. In this construction, gauge-invariant magnetic monop…
Proving Abelian dominance in the Wilson loop operator
Kei-Ichi Kondo, Akihiro Shibata
We give a gauge-independent definition of Abelian dominance in the Wilson loop operator and a constructive proof of the Abelian dominance through a non-Abelian Stokes theorem via l…
