Thick oriented and nonoriented center-vortex configurations with fractional topological charge lumps
David R. Junior, L. E. Oxman, Gustavo M. Simões
Mixed oriented and nonoriented center vortices are known to generate nontrivial topological charge. However, most previous analyses have been restricted to Abelian-projected thin c…

Cartan Fluxes in Lattice Gauge Theory
Tereza Mendes, Luis E. Oxman, Gustavo M. Simões +1
We propose and analyze a new method of detecting center vortices and monopoles in lattice Yang-Mills theory. This procedure is sensitive to the intrinsic degeneracy of the center c…
