Decomposition of the static potential in SU(3) gluodynamics

Abstract

After fixing the Maximal Abelian gauge in SU(3) lattice gluodynamics we decompose the nonabelian gauge field into the Abelian field created by Abelian monopoles and the modified nonabelian field with monopoles removed. We then calculate respective static potentials in the fundamental representation and show that the sum of these potentials approximates the nonabelian static potential with good precision at all distances considered. Comparison with other ways of decomposition is made.
