Topological configurations of Yang-Mills field responsible for magnetic-monopole loops as quark confiner

Akihiro Shibata, Kei-Ichi Kondo, Seikou Kato +3

We have given a new description of the lattice Yang-Mills theory a la Cho-Faddeev-Niemi-Shabanov, which has enabled us to confirm in a gauge-independent manner "Abelian"-dominance…

A new description of lattice Yang-Mils theory and non-Abelian monopoles as the quark confiner

Akihiro Shibata, Kei-Ichi Kondo, Seikou Kato +3

We propose a new description of the SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on a lattice, which enables one to explain quark confinement based on the dual superconductivity picture in a gauge inde…

New descriptions of lattice SU(N) Yang-Mills theory towards quark confinement

K. -I. Kondo, A. Shibata, T. Shinohara +3

We give new descriptions of lattice SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in terms of new lattice variables. The validity of such descriptions has already been demonstrated in the SU(2) Yang-Mil…

Compact lattice formulation of Cho-Faddeev-Niemi decomposition: gluon mass generation and infrared Abelian dominance

A. Shibata, S. Kato, K. -I. Kondo +3

This paper complements a new lattice formulation of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory written in terms of new variables in a compact form proposed in the previous paper. The new variables us…

Quark confinement and gauge invariant monopoles in SU(2) YM

S. Kato, S. Ito, K. -I. Kondo +3

We give a short review of recently obtained results on a new lattice formulation of the non-linear change of variables which was once called the Cho--Faddeev--Niemi decomposition i…

Gluon mass generation and infrared Abelian dominance in Yang-Mills theory

A. Shibata, S. Ito, S. Kato +3

The dual superconductivity is believed to be a promising mechanism for quark confinement. Indeed, what this picture is true has been confirmed in the maximal Abelian (MA) gauge. Ho…
