Screening of Z(N) monopole pairs in gauge theories
Ph. de Forcrand, C. Korthals-Altes, O. Philipsen
The screening of magnetic Z(N)-monopoles and the associated screening length in SU(N) gauge theories are analyzed theoretically, and computed numerically in the 3d SU(2) theory. Th…
Spatial 't Hooft loop, hot QCD and Z_N domain walls
C. Korthals-Altes, A. Kovner, M. Stephanov
We show that the deconfinement phase transition in the pure Yang-Mills theory can be characterized by the change of behaviour the spatial 't Hooft loop, V(C). In the confining phas…
Z(N) interface tension in a hot SU(N) gauge theory
T. Bhattacharya, A. Gocksch, C. P. Korthals-Altes +1
The interface tension between Z(N) vacua in a hot SU(N) gauge theory (without dynamical fermions) is computed at next to leading order in weak coupling. The Z(N) interface tension…
