Gluon mass generation and infrared Abelian dominance in Yang-Mills theory
A. Shibata, S. Ito, S. Kato +3
The dual superconductivity is believed to be a promising mechanism for quark confinement. Indeed, what this picture is true has been confirmed in the maximal Abelian (MA) gauge. Ho…
Gauge-invariant gluon mass, infrared Abelian dominance and stability of magnetic vacuum
Kei-Ichi Kondo
We give an argument for deriving analytically the infrared ``Abelian'' dominance in a gauge invariant way for the Wilson loop average in SU(2) Yang--Mills theory. In other words, w…
Glueball mass from quantized knot solitons and gauge-invariant gluon mass
Kei-Ichi Kondo, Akihito Ono, Akihiro Shibata +2
We propose an approach which enables one to obtain simultaneously the glueball mass and the gluon mass in the gauge-invariant way to shed new light on the mass gap problem in Yang-…
Compact lattice formulation of Cho-Faddeev-Niemi decomposition: string tension from magnetic monopoles
S. Ito, S. Kato, K. -I. Kondo +3
In this paper we begin on a new lattice formulation of the non-linear change of variables called the Cho--Faddeev--Niemi decomposition in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. This is a compact…
