Understanding the structure of nucleon excitations from their wavefunctions

Jackson A. Mickley, Waseem Kamleh, Derek B. Leinweber +1

Relativistic wavefunctions of nucleon excitations are scrutinised to understand their node structure and the underlying role of local interpolating fields in generating the nucleon…

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…

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…

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…
