Thermal Fluctuations of Chern-Simons Numbers in the Lattice SU(2) Higgs Model
F. Karsch, M. L. Laursen, T. Neuhaus +1
We study the temperature dependence of the Chern-Simons number fluctuations in the SU(2) Higgs Model on Euclidean lattices with spatial sizes up to 20^3. Temperatures well above th…
Vacuum Tunneling and Periodic Structure in Lattice Higgs Models
F. Karsch, M. L. Laursen, T. Neuhaus +1
Using a geometric definition for the lattice Chern-Simons term in even dimensions, we have studied the distribution of Chern-Simons numbers for the 2d-U(1) and the 4d-SU(2) lattice…
The Confined-Deconfined Interface Tension in Quenched QCD using the Histogram Method
B. Grossmann, M. L. Laursen
We present results for the confinement-deconfinement interface tension of quenched QCD. They were obtained by applying Binder's histogram method to lattices of size $L^2\t…
The confined-deconfined interface tension, wetting, and the spectrum of the transfer matrix
B. Grossmann, M. L. Laursen, T. Trappenberg +1
The reduced tension of the interface between the confined and the deconfined phase of pure gauge theory is determined from numerical simulations of the first trans…
The Interface Tension in Quenched QCD at the Critical Temperature
B. Grossmann, M. L. Laursen, T. Trappenberg +1
We present results for the confinement-deconfinement interface tension of quenched QCD. They were obtained by applying Binder's histogram method to lattices of size $L^2\t…
Chern-Simons term in the 4-dimensional SU(2) Higgs Model
F. Karsch, M. L. Laursen, T. Neuhaus +1
Using Seiberg's definition for the geometric charge in SU(2) lattice gauge theory, we have managed to apply it also to the Chern-Simons term. We checked the periodic structure and…
