Color confinement and dual superconductivity of the vacuum. IV
M. D'Elia, A. Di Giacomo, B. Lucini +2
A scaling analysis is made of the order parameter describing monopole condensation at the deconfining transition of N_f=2 QCD around the chiral point. In accordance with scaling pr…
Color confinement and dual superconductivity in unquenched QCD
J. M. Carmona, M. D'Elia, L. Del Debbio +4
We report on evidence from lattice simulations that confinement is produced by dual superconductivity of the vacuum in full QCD as in quenched QCD. Preliminary information is obtai…
The deconfining phase transition in SU(N) gauge theories
B. Lucini, M. Teper, U. Wenger
We report on our ongoing investigation of the deconfining phase transition in SU(4) and SU(6) gauge theories. We calculate the critical couplings while taking care to avoid the inf…
The deconfinement transition in SU(N) gauge theories
B. Lucini, M. Teper, U. Wenger
We investigate the properties of the deconfinement transition in SU(4) and SU(6) gauge theories. We find that it is a `normal' first order transition in both cases, from which we c…
Dual Superconductivity and Chiral Symmetry in Full QCD
J. M. Carmona, M. D'Elia, L. Del Debbio +3
A disorder parameter detecting dual superconductivity of the vacuum is measured across the chiral phase transition in full QCD with two flavours of dynamical staggered fermions. Th…
Topology and Confinement in SU(N) Gauge Theories
B. Lucini, M. Teper
The large N limit of SU(N) gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions is investigated on the lattice by extrapolating results obtained for . A numerical determination of the m…
Vortices versus monopoles in color confinement
L Del Debbio, A Di Giacomo, B Lucini
We construct the creation operator of a vortex for SU(2) pure gauge theory using the methods developed for monopoles. We interpret its vacuum expectation value as a disorder parame…
Z2 monopoles in D=2+1 SU(2) lattice gauge theory
A. Hart, B. Lucini, Z. Schram +1
We calculate the Euclidean action of a pair of Z2 monopoles (instantons), as a function of their spatial separation, in D=2+1 SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We do so both above and be…
Vortices, monopoles and confinement
L Del Debbio, A Di Giacomo, B Lucini
We construct the creation operator of a vortex using the methods developed for monopoles. The vacuum expectation value of this operator is interpreted as a disorder parameter descr…
A disorder analysis of the Ising model
J. M. Carmona, A. Di Giacomo, B. Lucini
Lattice studies of monopole condensation in QCD are based on the construction of a disorder parameter, a creation operator of monopoles which is written in terms of the gauge field…
Implementation of C* boundary conditions in the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm
J. M. Carmona, M. D'Elia, A. Di Giacomo +1
In the study of QCD dynamics, C* boundary conditions are physically relevant in certain cases. In this paper we study the implementation of these boundary conditions in the lattice…
Colour confinement and dual superconductivity of the vacuum - I
A. Di Giacomo, B. Lucini, L. Montesi +1
We study dual superconductivity of the ground state of SU(2) gauge theory, in connection with confinement. We do that measuring on the lattice a disorder parameter describing conde…
