Thick vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory
Srinath Cheluvaraja
Three dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory is studied after eliminating thin monopoles and the smallest thick monopoles. Kinematically this constraint allows the formation of thi…
Z(2) vortex solution in a field theory
S. Cheluvaraja
We present a finite energy topological Z(2) vortex solution in a 2+1 dimensional SO(3) gauge field theory minimally coupled to a matrix valued Higgs field. The vortex carries a Z(2…
Vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory
S. Cheluvaraja
We investigate some properties of thick vortices and thick monopoles in the SU(2) lattice gauge theory by inserting operators which create these excitations. Some quantities associ…
Mean field analysis of the SO(3) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature
Srinath Cheluvaraja
We study the finite temperature properties of the SO(3) lattice gauge theory using mean field theory. The main result is the calculation of the effective action at finite temperatu…
Finite Temperature Properties of SO(3) Lattice Gauge Theories and their implications for the continuum limit
Srinath Cheluvaraja, H. S. Sharathchandra
It is shown that lattice gauge theory on finite size lattices has metastable states related to the ground states of both the bulk transition and the finite temperature tran…
