Abstract
We investigate Abelian and monopole contributions to spatial string tension in the deconfined phase of finite temperature SU(2) gauge theory without imposing any gauge fixing conditions. Lattice calculations of non-Abelian and Abelian spatial string tensions from the Wilson action at gauge coupling and lattice volume show that these string tensions agree with each other within error bars at any adopted value of , which implies Abelian dominance. From measurements of non-Abelian, Abelian, and monopole forces that arise from the corresponding spatial string tension, furthermore, we find the tendency that the monopole contribution to the spatial string tension can be almost as large as the non-Abelian and Abelian ones. The temperature dependence of the calculated non-Abelian and Abelian spatial string tensions allows us to conclude that the concept of dimensional reduction holds both for non-Abelian and Abelian sectors at temperatures higher than twice the critical temperature.
