Rigidity and percolation of center vortices
P. V. Buividovich, M. I. Polikarpov, V. I. Zakharov
Effective action of center vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory is investigated by studying the correlation between the action density on their worldsheets and their geometric pr…
Center vortices as rigid strings
P. V. Buividovich, M. I. Polikarpov
It is shown that the action associated with center vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory is strongly correlated with extrinsic and internal curvatures of the vortex surface and th…
Random walks of Wilson loops in the screening regime
P. V. Buividovich, M. I. Polikarpov
Dynamics of Wilson loops in pure Yang-Mills theories is analyzed in terms of random walks of the holonomies of the gauge field on the gauge group manifold. It is shown that such ra…
BRST quantization of matrix models with constraints and two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on the cylinder
Pavel Buividovich
BRST quantization of the one-dimensional constrained matrix model which describes two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on the cylinder is performed. Classical and quantum BRST generat…
