Monopoles, vortices and confinement in SU(3) gauge theory
L. Del Debbio, A. Di Giacomo, B. Lucini
We compute, in SU(3) pure gauge theory, the vacuum expectation value (vev) of the operator which creates a vortex wrapping the lattice through periodic boundary conditions (d…
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…
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…
Topological susceptibility in full QCD at zero and finite temperature
B. Alles, M. D'Elia, A. Di Giacomo
We present a study of the topological susceptibility on the lattice for full QCD with 2 and 4 flavours of staggered fermions at zero and finite temperature T. We find that …
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…
