Simplicity of confinement in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory
Xavier Crean, Jeffrey Giansiracusa, Biagio Lucini
We introduce a novel observable associated to Abelian monopole currents defined in the Maximal Abelian Projection of SU(3) Yang-Mills theory that captures the topology of the curre…

Topological Data Analysis of Abelian Magnetic Monopoles in Gauge Theories
Xavier Crean, Jeffrey Giansiracusa, Biagio Lucini
Motivated by recent literature on the possible existence of a second higher-temperature phase transition in Quantum Chromodynamics, we revisit the proposal that colour confinement…

Topological Data Analysis of Monopole Current Networks in Lattice Gauge Theory
Xavier Crean, Jeffrey Giansiracusa, Biagio Lucini
In -dimensional pure compact lattice gauge theory, we analyse topological aspects of the dynamics of monopoles across the deconfinement phase transition. We do this using…
