Approaching gauge dynamics with smeared vortices
Roman Höllwieser, Michael Engelhardt
We present a method to smear (center projected) vortices in lattice gauge configurations such as to embed vortex physics into a full gauge configuration framework. I…
Center vortex model for the infrared sector of SU(3) Yang-Mills theory: Topological susceptibility
Michael Engelhardt
The topological susceptibility of the SU(3) random vortex world-surface ensemble, an effective model of infrared Yang-Mills dynamics, is investigated. The model is implemented by c…
Center vortex model for Sp(2) Yang-Mills theory
M. Engelhardt, B. Sperisen
The question whether the center vortex picture of the strongly interacting vacuum can encompass the infrared dynamics of both SU(2) as well as Sp(2) Yang-Mills theory is addressed.…
Z(2)-symmetric center vortex model with a first-order deconfinement transition
M. Engelhardt, B. Sperisen
A random vortex world-surface model for the infrared sector of Sp(2) Yang-Mills theory is constructed. The Sp(2) gauge group, while allowing for the same set of center vortex fluxe…
Center Vortex Model for SU(3) Yang-Mills Theory
Markus Quandt, Hugo Reinhardt, Michael Engelhardt
The center vortex model for the infrared sector of SU(3) Yang-Mills theory is reviewed. After discussing the physical foundations underlying the model, some technical aspects of it…
Center Vortex Model for the Infrared Sector of SU(3) Yang-Mills Theory - Vortex Free Energy
M. Quandt, H. Reinhardt, M. Engelhardt
The vortex free energy is studied in the random vortex world-surface model of the infrared sector of SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. The free energy of a center vortex extending into two…
