N-ality and topology at finite temperature
L. Del Debbio, H. Panagopoulos, E. Vicari
We study the spectrum of confining strings in SU(3) pure gauge theory, in different representations of the gauge group. Our results provide direct evidence that the string spectrum…
Abelian projection in SU(N) gauge theories
L. Del Debbio, A. Di Giacomo, B. Lucini +1
The abelian projection in SU(N) gauge theories is discussed in detail, as well as the construction of a disorder parameter to study dual superconductivity as a mechanism for color…
Spectrum of k-string tensions in SU(N) gauge theories
L. Del Debbio, H. Panagopoulos, P. Rossi +1
We compute, for the four-dimensional SU(4) and SU(6) gauge theories formulated on a lattice, the string tensions sigma_k related to sources with Z_N charge k, using Monte Carlo sim…
Center dominance, Casimir scaling, and confinement in lattice gauge theory
L. Del Debbio, M. Faber, J. Greensite +1
We present numerical evidence that supports the theory of quark confinement based on center vortex condensation. We introduce a special gauge ("maximal center gauge") and center pr…
Chiral symmetry breaking in the 3-d Thirring model for small
L. Del Debbio
We study the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry in the 3-d Thirring model for a small number of fermion species. The critical point is identified by fitting lattice data to an e…
Center Dominance, Center Vortices, and Confinement
L. Del Debbio, M. Faber, J. Greensite +1
We present a variety of numerical data supporting the Center Vortex theory of confinement. A method is introduced for identifying the location of center vortices, in thermalized ga…
