Decomposition of the static potential in the Maximal Abelian gauge
arXiv:2201.04035 · doi:10.1051/epjconf/202225802009
Abstract
Decomposition of SU(2) gauge field into the monopole and monopoleless components is studied in the Maximal Abelian gauge using Monte-Carlo simulations in lattice SU(2) gluodynamics as well as in two-color QCD with both zero and nonzero quark chemical potential. The interaction potential between static charges is calculated for each component and their sum is compared with the non-Abelian static potential. A good agreement is found in the confinement phase. Implications of this result are discussed.
