Gauge Invariant SO(3) - Z2 Monopoles as Possible Source of Confinement in SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory
Michael Grady
A gauge invariant procedure for extracting combined SO(3)-Z2 monopoles in positive-plaquette SU(2) lattice gauge theory is shown. When these monopoles are eliminated through a cons…

Universe as a Phase Boundary in a Four-Dimensional Euclidean Space
Michael Grady
It is proposed that space is a four-dimensional Euclidean space with universal time. Originally this space was filled with a uniform substance, pictured as a liquid, which at some…

Monopole Loop Suppression and Loss of Confinement in Restricted Action SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory
Michael Grady
The effect of restricting the plaquette ( Wilson loop) to be greater than a certain cutoff is studied. The action considered is the standard Wilson action with the addit…
