Novel insight into centre-vortex geometry in four dimensions

Jackson A. Mickley, Chris Allton, Ryan Bignell +1

Centre-vortex surfaces are mapped out in four dimensions within the framework of SU(3) lattice gauge theory to understand the role of secondary loops that develop in three-dimensio…

Center vortices in the novel phase of staggered fermions

Jackson A. Mickley, Derek B. Leinweber, Daniel Nogradi

The geometry of center vortices is studied in the novel lattice-artefact phase that appears with staggered fermions to elucidate any insight provided by the center-vortex degrees o…

Centre vortices in thermal lattice QCD with dynamical fermions

Jackson Mickley, Chris Allton, Ryan Bignell +1

Evidence for a second finite-temperature transition in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is revealed through the study of centre vortex geometry and its temperature-dependent evolution.…

The temperature dependence of fractional topological charge objects

Jackson A. Mickley, Waseem Kamleh, Derek B. Leinweber

We present a novel method for defining the topological charge contained within distinct topological objects in the nontrivial ground-state fields of SU(N) lattice gauge theory. Suc…

SU(3) centre vortex geometry at finite temperature

Jackson A. Mickley, Waseem Kamleh, Derek B. Leinweber

The importance of examining the structure of centre-vortex matter in the ground-state fields of nonabelian gauge-field theory has been demonstrated in the recent centre-vortex base…

Structure of center-vortex matter in SU(4) Yang-Mills theory

Jackson A. Mickley, Derek B. Leinweber, Luis E. Oxman

The structure of center vortices is studied in SU(4) Yang-Mills theory for the first time to illuminate the interplay between elementary (center charge ) and doubly charged…
