Hedgehogs in Wilson loops and phase transition in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory
V. A. Belavin, M. N. Chernodub, I. E. Kozlov
We suggest that the gauge-invariant hedgehoglike structures in the Wilson loops are physically interesting degrees of freedom in the Yang--Mills theory. The trajectories of these `…
On projection (in)dependence of monopole condensate in lattice SU(2) gauge theory
V. A. Belavin, M. N. Chernodub, M. I. Polikarpov
We study the temperature dependence of the monopole condensate in different Abelian projections of the SU(2) lattice gauge theory. Using the Frohlich-Marchetti monopole creation op…
Monopole creation operators as confinement--deconfinement order parameters
V. A. Belavin, M. N. Chernodub, M. I. Polikarpov
We study numerically two versions of the monopole creation operators proposed by Frohlich and Marchetti. The disadvantage of the old version of the monopole creation operator is du…
Numerical study of Frohlich and Marchetti monopole creation operator
V. A. Belavin, M. N. Chernodub, M. I. Polikarpov
The monopole creation operator proposed recently by Frohlich and Marchetti is investigated in the Abelian Higgs model with compact gauge field. We show numerically that the creatio…
