Magnetic monopole loops supported by a meron pair as the quark confiner
Kei-Ichi Kondo
We give a definition of gauge-invariant magnetic monopoles in Yang-Mills theory without using the Abelian projection due to 't Hooft. They automatically appear from the Wilson loop…
A new description of lattice Yang-Mils theory and non-Abelian monopoles as the quark confiner
Akihiro Shibata, Kei-Ichi Kondo, Seikou Kato +3
We propose a new description of the SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on a lattice, which enables one to explain quark confinement based on the dual superconductivity picture in a gauge inde…
Magnetic Monopole Loops supported by a Meron pair as the Quark Confiner
Kei-Ichi Kondo, Nobuyuki Fukui, Akihiro Shibata +1
We give an analytical solution representing circular magnetic monopole loops joining a pair of merons in the four-dimensional Euclidean SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. This is achieved by…
New descriptions of lattice SU(N) Yang-Mills theory towards quark confinement
K. -I. Kondo, A. Shibata, T. Shinohara +3
We give new descriptions of lattice SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in terms of new lattice variables. The validity of such descriptions has already been demonstrated in the SU(2) Yang-Mil…
Proving Abelian dominance in the Wilson loop operator
Kei-Ichi Kondo, Akihiro Shibata
We give a gauge-independent definition of Abelian dominance in the Wilson loop operator and a constructive proof of the Abelian dominance through a non-Abelian Stokes theorem via l…
