Existence of Chiral-Asymmetric Zero Modes in the Background of QCD-Monopoles

We study topological aspects of the QCD vacuum structure in SU(2) lattice gauge theory with the abelian gauge fixing. The index of the Dirac operator is measured by using the Wilson fermion in the quenched approximation. We find chiral-asymmetric zero modes in background fields dominated by QCD-monopoles without any cooling.Comment: 3 pages, Latex, 4 figures. Talk presented by S.

Phase transition of color-superconductivity and cooling behavior of quark stars

We discuss the color-superconductivity and its effect on the cooling behavior of strange quark stars. The neutrino emissivity and specific heat of quark matter are calculated within the BCS theory. In the superconducting phase, the emissivity decreases and causes suppression of the cooling rate. It is shown that the phase transition leads to a sudden discontinuous suppression of the cooling rate in cooperation with the specific heat.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure

Evidence of Strong Correlation between Instanton and QCD-monopole on SU(2) Lattice

The correlation between instantons and QCD-monopoles is studied both in the lattice gauge theory and in the continuum theory. An analytical study in the Polyakov-like gauge, where $A_4(x)$ is diagonalized, shows that the QCD-monopole trajectory penetrates the center of each instanton, and becomes complicated in the multi-instanton system. Using the SU(2) lattice with $16^4$, the instanton number is measured in the singular (monopole-dominating) and regular (photon-dominating) parts, respectively. The monopole dominance for the topological charge is found both in the maximally abelian gauge and in the Polyakov gauge.Comment: 4 pages, Latex, 3 figures. Talk presented by H.

A Conclusive Test of Abelian Dominance Hypothesis for Topological Charge in the QCD Vacuum

We study the topological feature in the QCD vacuum based on the hypothesis of abelian dominance. The topological charge $Q_{\rm SU(2)}$ can be explicitly represented in terms of the monopole current in the abelian dominated system. To appreciate its justification, we directly measure the corresponding topological charge $Q_{\rm Mono}$, which is reconstructed only from the monopole current and the abelian component of gauge fields, by using the Monte Carlo simulation on SU(2) lattice. We find that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between $Q_{\rm SU(2)}$ and $Q_{\rm Mono}$ in the maximally abelian gauge. Furthermore, $Q_{\rm Mono}$ is classified by approximately discrete values.Comment: LATTICE98(confine), 3 pages, Latex, 3 figures include

A calculation of the transport coefficients of hot and dense hadronic matter based on the event generator URASiMA

We evaluate thermodynamical quantities and the transport coefficients of a dense and hot hadronic matter based on the event generator URASiMA (Ultra-Relativistic AA collision Simulator based on Multiple Scattering Algorithm) with periodic boundary conditions. As the simplest example of the transport coefficients we investigate the temperature dependence and the chemical potential dependence of the baryon diffusion constant of a dense and hot hadronic matter.Comment: To appear in the Proceeding of the International Conference on Quark Nuclear Physics(QNP2000), 21-25 February 2000, Adelaide, Australi
