Polyakov Loops and Magnetic Screening from Monopoles in SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory

Abstract

We present results from magnetic monopoles in $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory at finite temperature. The lattices are $16^3\times N_t$, for $N_t=4,6,8,12$, at $\beta =2.5115$. Quantities discussed are: the spacial string tension, Polyakov loops, and the screening of timelike and spacelike magnetic currents.
