Lower-dimension vacuum defects in lattice Yang-Mills theory
V. I. Zakharov
We overview lattice data on d=1,2,3 vacuum defects in four-dimensional gluodynamics. In all the cases defects have total volume which scales in physical units (with zero fractal di…
Holes in the ghost condensate
D. Krotov, C. Rebbi, V. Rubakov +1
In a recently proposed model of ``ghost condensation'', spatially homogeneous states may mix, via tunneling, with inhomogeneous states which are somewhat similar to bubbles in the…
A novel probe of the vacuum of the lattice gluodynamics
M. I. Polikarpov, S. N. Syritsyn, V. I. Zakharov
We introduce a notion of minimal number of negative links on the lattice for a given original configuration of SU(2) fields. Negative links correspond to a large potential, not nec…
Properties of P-vortex and monopole clusters in lattice SU(2) gauge theory
A. V. Kovalenko, M. I. Polikarpov, S. N. Syritsyn +1
We study the action and geometry of P-vortices, discriminating between the percolating and finite clusters. We also discuss the interrelation of the monopoles and P-vortices. To de…
