Bianchi Identities and Degeneracy of Chromomagnetic Fields in SU(2) Gluodynamics
F. V. Gubarev, S. M. Morozov
We investigate the non-Abelian Bianchi identities in pure SU(2) lattice Yang-Mills theory in three and four dimensions. The non-Abelian Stokes theorem proposed recently allows to f…
Gauge Invariant Monopoles in Lattice SU(2) Gluodynamics
F. V. Gubarev
We consider lattice implementation of the recently proposed gauge invariant definition of the monopole charge. Because of the lattice discretization the algorithm gives rise to spe…
Gauge Invariant Monopoles in SU(2) Gluodynamics
F. V. Gubarev, V. I. Zakharov
We introduce a gauge invariant topological definition of monopole charge in pure SU(2) gluodynamics. The non-trivial topology is provided by hedgehog configurations of the non-Abel…
Short Strings and New Physics Perspectives in QCD
M. N. Chernodub, F. V. Gubarev, M. I. Polikarpov +1
Within the (dual) Abelian Higgs model, confining strings do not disappear at small distances but rather become short strings. In compact 3D electrodynamics, as we argue here, the c…
Dynamics of Topological Defects in Electroweak Theory
M. N. Chernodub, F. V. Gubarev, E. -M. Ilgenfritz +1
Embedded defects proposed long ago (Z-vortices and Nambu monopoles) have been successfully searched for in 3D equilibrium lattice studies within the standard model near the electro…
Properties of Abelian Monopoles in SU(2) Lattice Gluodynamics
B. L. G. Bakker, M. N. Chernodub, F. V. Gubarev +2
We discuss some properties of abelian monopoles in the Maximal Abelian projection of the SU(2) lattice gluodynamics. We show that in the maximal abelian projection abelian monopole…
