Center Dominance in SU(2) Gauge-Higgs Theory
Roman Bertle, Manfried Faber, Jeff Greensite +1
We study the SU(2) gauge-Higgs system in D=4 dimensions, and analyze the influence of the fundamental-representation Higgs field on the vortex content of the gauge field. It is sho…
Vortices, Confinement and Higgs fields
Roman Bertle, Manfried Faber
We review lattice evidence for the vortex mechanism of quark confinement and study the influence of charged matter fields on the vortex distribution.
Vortices in the SU(2)-Higgs model -- Vortices and the covariant adjoint Laplacian
Roman Bertle, Manfried Faber, Albert Hirtl
Vortices in the SU(2)--Higgs model: The presence of a fundamental Higgs in the SU(N)-Higgs model yields color screening at some finite distance. Whereas the transition to the Higgs…
Susceptibility of Monte-Carlo Generated Projected Vortices
Roman Bertle, Michael Engelhardt, Manfried Faber
We determine the topological susceptibility from center projected vortices and demonstrate that the topological properties of the SU(2) Yang-Mills vacuum can be extracted from the…
Center vortices in MCG - finite-size and gauge-copy effects
Roman Bertle, Manfried Faber, Jeff Greensite +1
In SU(2) lattice gauge theory in maximal center gauge, we investigate the dependence of center-projected Creutz ratios and the vortex density on lattice size and the number of gaug…
Center vortices and colour confinement in lattice QCD
R. Bertle, M. Faber, J. Greensite +1
We review lattice evidence showing that center-vortex condensation is a serious candidate for the mechanism of colour confinement in quantum chromodynamics.
The Structure of Projected Center Vortices in Lattice Gauge Theory
R. Bertle, M. Faber, J. Greensite +1
We investigate the structure of center vortices in maximal center gauge of SU(2) lattice gauge theory at zero and finite temperature. In center projection the vortices (called P-vo…
