Probing the QCD Vacuum with Static Sources in Maximal Abelian Projection
Various field strength correlators are investigated in the maximal Abelian
projection of pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory. High precision measurements of
the colour fields, monopole currents, their curls and divergences allow for
detailed checks of the dual superconductor scenario. On this basis, we perform
a Ginzburg-Landau type analysis of the flux tube profile from which we derive
the size of the penetration length, LAMBDA = 0.16(2) fm, and coherence length
of the monopole condensate wave function, XI = 0.27(3) fm. The ratio of these
numbers is KAPPA = LAMBDA/XI = 0.59(13) which is below the value 1/SQRT(2)
where type II superconductivity sets in.Comment: 15 pages, latex, 8 figures, Talk presented by K. Schilling YKIS97,

Exploring Correlation Methods to Determine QCD beta-Functions on the Lattice
We investigate -- as an alternative to usual Monte Carlo Renormalization
Group methods -- the feasibility of extracting QCD beta-functions directly from
a lattice analysis of correlations between the action and Wilson loops. We test
this correlation technique numerically in four dimensional SU(2) gauge theory,
on a 16^4 lattice at beta = 2.5 and find very promising results.Comment: 12 pages, 2 Figure
A microscopic semiclassical confining field equation for lattice gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions
We present a semiclassical nonlinear field equation for the confining field
in 2+1--dimensional lattice gauge theory (compact QED). The equation is
derived directly from the underlying microscopic quantum Hamiltonian by means
of truncation. Its nonlinearities express the dynamic creation of magnetic
monopole currents leading to the confinement of the electric field between two
static electric charges. We solve the equation numerically and show that it can
be interpreted as a London relation in a dual superconductor.Comment: 21 pages, epsf postscript figures included, full postscript available

Observing Long Colour Flux Tubes in SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory
We present results of a high statistics study of the chromo field
distribution between static quarks in SU(2) gauge theory on lattices of volumes
16^4, 32^4, and 48^3*64, with physical extent ranging from 1.3 fm up to 2.7 fm
at beta=2.5, beta=2.635, and beta=2.74. We establish string formation over
physical distances as large as 2 fm. The results are tested against Michael's
sum rules. A detailed investigation of the transverse action and energy flux
tube profiles is provided. As a by-product, we obtain the static lattice
potential in unpreceded accuracy.Comment: 66 pages, 29 figures, uuencoded latex file with epsfigures (450 K),
