On the evaluation of the evolution operator Z_Reg(R_2,R_1) in the Diakonov-Petrov approach to the Wilson loop
M. Faber, A. N. Ivanov, N. I. Troitskaya
We evaluate the evolution operator Z_Reg(R_2,R_1) introduced by Diakonov and Petrov for the definition of the Wilson loop in terms of a path integral over gauge degrees of freedom.…
On the path integral representation for Wilson loops and the non-Abelian Stokes theorem II
M. Faber, A. N. Ivanov, N. I. Troitskaya
This paper is a revised version of our recent publication Faber et al., Phys. Rev. D62 (2000) 025019, hep-th/9907048. The main revision concerns the expansion into group characters…
Center Vortices at Strong Couplings
M. Faber, J. Greensite, S. Olejnik
A long-range effective action is derived for strong-coupling lattice SU(2) gauge theory in D=3 dimensions. It is shown that center vortices emerge as stable saddlepoints of this ac…
Center vortices in MCG - finite-size and gauge-copy effects
Roman Bertle, Manfried Faber, Jeff Greensite +1
In SU(2) lattice gauge theory in maximal center gauge, we investigate the dependence of center-projected Creutz ratios and the vortex density on lattice size and the number of gaug…
Center vortices and colour confinement in lattice QCD
R. Bertle, M. Faber, J. Greensite +1
We review lattice evidence showing that center-vortex condensation is a serious candidate for the mechanism of colour confinement in quantum chromodynamics.
Recent results in the center vortex model for the infrared sector of Yang-Mills theory
M. Engelhardt, M. Faber, H. Reinhardt
A model for the infrared sector of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, based on magnetic vortices represented by (closed) random surfaces, is presented. The model quantitatively describes bot…
