First Evidence for Center Dominance in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory
M. Faber, J. Greensite, S. Olejnik
The dominance of center degrees of freedom is observed in SU(3) lattice gauge theory in maximal center gauge. The full asymptotic string tension is reproduced, after center project…
The Vortex-Finding Property of Maximal Center (and Other) Gauges
M. Faber, J. Greensite, S. Olejnik +1
We argue that the ``vortex-finding'' property of maximal center gauge, i.e. the ability of this gauge to locate center vortices inserted by hand on any given lattice, is the key to…
Vortex Structure vs. Monopole Dominance in Abelian-Projected Gauge Theory
J. Ambjorn, J. Giedt, J. Greensite
We find that Polyakov lines, computed in abelian-projected SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the confined phase, have finite expectation values for lines corresponding to two units of…
The Structure of Projected Center Vortices in Lattice Gauge Theory
R. Bertle, M. Faber, J. Greensite +1
We investigate the structure of center vortices in maximal center gauge of SU(2) lattice gauge theory at zero and finite temperature. In center projection the vortices (called P-vo…
