A fresh look on the flux tube in Abelian-projected SU(2) gluodynamics
We reconsider the properties of the flux tube within
Abelian-projected SU(2) lattice gauge theory in terms of electric field and
monopole current. In the maximal Abelian gauge we assess the influence of the
Gribov copies on the apparent flux-tube profile. For the optimal gauge fixing
we study the independence of the profile on the lattice spacing for
2.3, 2.4, and 2.5115 on a lattice. We decompose the Abelian Wilson loop
into monopole and photon parts and compare the electric and monopole profile
emerging from different sources with the field strength and monopole current
within the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory.Comment: 3 pages, 6 figures, Lattice2002(topology
Glueball masses in U(1) LGT using the multi-level algorithm
The multi-level algorithm allows, at least for pure gauge theories, reliable
measurement of exponentially small expectation values. The implementation of
the algorithm depends strongly on the observable one wants to measure. Here we
report measurement of glueball masses using the multi-level algorithm in 4
dimensional compact U(1) theory as a case study.Comment: Lattice 2003 (algorithm) 3 pages, 3 figures and 2 table
Quark Confinement Physics in Quantum Chromodynamics
We study abelian dominance and monopole condensation for the quark
confinement physics using the lattice QCD simulations in the MA gauge. These
phenomena are closely related to the dual superconductor picture of the QCD
vacuum, and enable us to construct the dual Ginzburg-Landau (DGL) theory as an
useful effective theory of nonperturbative QCD. We then apply the DGL theory to
the studies of the low-lying hadron structure and the scalar glueball
properties.Comment: Talk given at 15th International Conference on Particle and Nuclei

Finite-temperature chiral condensate and low-lying Dirac eigenvalues in quenched SU(2) lattice gauge theory
The spectrum of low-lying eigenvalues of overlap Dirac operator in quenched
SU(2) lattice gauge theory with tadpole-improved Symanzik action is studied at
finite temperatures in the vicinity of the confinement-deconfinement phase
transition defined by the expectation value of the Polyakov line. The value of
the chiral condensate obtained from the Banks-Casher relation is found to drop
down rapidly at T = Tc, though not going to zero. At Tc' = 1.5 Tc = 480 MeV the
chiral condensate decreases rapidly one again and becomes either very small or
zero. At T < Tc the distributions of small eigenvalues are universal and are
well described by chiral orthogonal ensemble of random matrices. In the
temperature range above Tc where both the chiral condensate and the expectation
value of the Polyakov line are nonzero the distributions of small eigenvalues
are not universal. Here the eigenvalue spectrum is better described by a
phenomenological model of dilute instanton - anti-instanton gas.Comment: 8 pages RevTeX, 5 figures, 2 table
Isolated Eigenvalues of the Ferromagnetic Spin-J XXZ Chain with Kink Boundary Conditions
We investigate the low-lying excited states of the spin J ferromagnetic XXZ
chain with Ising anisotropy Delta and kink boundary conditions. Since the third
component of the total magnetization, M, is conserved, it is meaningful to
study the spectrum for each fixed value of M. We prove that for J>= 3/2 the
lowest excited eigenvalues are separated by a gap from the rest of the
spectrum, uniformly in the length of the chain. In the thermodynamic limit,
this means that there are a positive number of excitations above the ground
state and below the essential spectrum
Effective field theories for baryons with two- and three-heavy quarks
Baryons made of two or three heavy quarks can be described in the modern
language of non-relativistic effective field theories. These, besides allowing
a rigorous treatment of the systems, provide new insight in the nature of the
three-body interaction in QCD.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure; published versio
