Abelian monopole condensation in lattice gauge theories
P. Cea, L. Cosmai
We investigate the dynamics of lattice gauge theories in an Abelian monopole background field. By means of the gauge-invariant lattice Schrodinger functional we study the Abelian m…
Large rescaling of the Higgs condensate: theoretical motivations and lattice results
P. Cea, M. Consoli, L. Cosmai
In the Standard Model the Fermi constant is associated with the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field, `the condensate', usually believed to be a cutoff-independent quantity.…
Topology in CP(N-1) models: a critical comparison of different cooling techniques
B. Alles, L. Cosmai, M. D'Elia +1
Various cooling methods, including a recently introduced one which smoothes out only quantum fluctuations larger than a given threshold, are applied to the study of topology in 2d…
Probing the non-perturbative dynamics of SU(2) vacuum
Paolo Cea, Leonardo Cosmai
The vacuum dynamics of SU(2) lattice gauge theory is studied by means of a gauge-invariant effective action defined using the lattice Schrödinger functional. Numerical simulations…
Further lattice evidence for a large re-scaling of the Higgs condensate
P. Cea, M. Consoli, L. Cosmai +1
Using a high-statistics lattice simulation of the Ising limit of theory, we have measured the susceptibility and propagator in the broken phase. We confirm our earlier f…
