Confinement in SU(3: Simple and Generalized Maximal Abelian Gauge
John D. Stack, William W. Tucker, Roy J. Wensley
The general problem of obtaining reliable results from gauge-fixing and projection is discussed. It is shown that the usual form of the maximal abelian gauge gives poor results for…

The Maximal Abelian Gauge in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory
William W. Tucker, John D. Stack
We gauge fix 600 SU(3) beta=6.0 configurations on a 16^4 lattice to a simple form of the maximal abelian gauge. We project the SU(3) valued links to the U(1)xU(1) subgroup, and ext…

Cooling, Monopoles, and Vortices in SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory
John D. Stack, William W. Tucker, Alistair Hart
We study monopoles and vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory on a 24**4 lattice at beta=2.50. We find a value of fundamental string tension from monopoles in the maximum Abelian g…
