Testing the Yang-Mills vacuum wave functional Ansatz in 3+1 dimensions
J. Greensite, S. Olejnik
We proposed a simple Ansatz for the vacuum wave functional (VWF) of SU(2) gauge theory in temporal gauge. In 2+1 dimensions, the Ansatz was shown to be a fairly good approximation…
Adjoint torelons, and the persistence of color electric flux tubes in the deconfined phase
J. Greensite, S. Olejnik
It is argued that the adjoint torelon loop, i.e. a Polyakov loop in the adjoint representation running in a spatial, rather than temporal, direction, is an observable which is sens…
In quest of the Yang-Mills vacuum wavefunctional
J. Greensite, S. Olejnik
A simple recursion procedure was devised to generate lattice configurations with probability distributions given by simple approximate Yang-Mills vacuum wavefunctionals. A few quan…
Properties of the approximate Yang-Mills ground-state wave functional in 2+1 dimensions
J. Greensite, S. Olejnik
We review properties and lattice evidence in support of the recently proposed temporal-gauge Yang-Mills vacuum wave functional in 2+1 dimensions.
The QCD vacuum wave functional and confinement in Coulomb gauge
J. Greensite, S. Olejnik
We report results on the Coulomb-gauge ghost propagator and the color-Coulomb potential computed in two lattice gauge-field ensembles: (1) configurations derived from our recently…
Confinement from Gauge Invariance in 2+1 Dimensions
J. Greensite, S. Olejnik
It is shown, in D=2+1 dimensions, that by merely imposing non-abelian gauge invariance on the temporal gauge ground state wavefunctional of an abelian gauge theory, a confining sta…
