Abstract

Based on the dual superconductor picture, we study the confinement phenomena systematically, using the lattice QCD, the monopole-current dynamics and the dual Ginzburg-Landau (DGL) theory. (1) We study the origin of abelian dominance for the confinement force in the maximally abelian (MA) gauge in terms of the gluon-field properties using the lattice QCD. In the MA gauge, the off-diagonal gluon amplitude is strongly suppressed, and the off-diagonal gluon phase tends to be random, according to the weakness of the constraint from the QCD action. Within the random-variable approximation for the off-diagonal gluon phase, we show the perimeter law of the off-diagonal gluon contribution to the Wilson loop, i.e. abelian dominance for the string tension, in the semi-analytical manner. (2) We study the QCD-monopole structure in terms of the gluon field, using the lattice QCD in the MA gauge. Around the monopole, both abelian and off-diagonal parts of the QCD action become large, however, due to the cancellation between them, monopoles can appear in QCD without large cost of the QCD action. (3) We derive a simple relation between the confinement force and the monopole density by idealizing the monopole contribution to the Wilson loop. (4) We study the monopole current dynamics. (5) We consider the derivation of the DGL theory from the monopole ensemble. (6) We study the QCD phase transition at finite temperatures in the DGL theory. (7) We apply the DGL theory for the hadron-bubble formation in early Universe and quark-gluon-plasma formation process in the ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision.

Strong-coupling expansions from field-space Fourier duality in scalar lattice field theory

Dualities between quantum field theories provide useful descriptions of otherwise inaccessible parameter regimes. We develop a strong-coupling expansion for a class of Euclidean scalar field theories on a lattice by applying a Fourier transform to the local interaction term. We focus on a self-interacting $ϕ^4$ theory on a (periodic) hypercubic lattice in arbitrary dimension and derive a dual representation in which the strong-coupling regime of the original model is described by weak interactions of a generally nonlocal dual field. Using standard diagrammatic techniques, we obtain partially resummed approximations for the free-energy density and the momentum-space two-point function, including dual interaction vertices through nominal order $g^{-{8}}$ and $g^{-{10}}$ correspondingly. For $d=2$ and $d=3$, the resulting expressions agree well with Hamiltonian Monte Carlo simulations over the parameter ranges studied and provide complementary approximations with an overlap in the weak-to-intermediate coupling region. We also discuss the assumptions and limitations of the construction and illustrate its application to the Ising model.

Renormalized Polyakov loop in accelerated gluodynamics

In this paper we investigate accelerated gluodynamics for a broad intervals of temperature and acceleration. Our study is carried out within lattice simulation in the co-moving reference frame parameterized by the Rindler coordinates. We developed the renormalization prescription that allowed us to calculate renormalized Polyakov loop as a function of coordinate in the Rindler spacetime. Using the data for the renormalized local Polyakov loop, we calculated spatial dependence of the static quark free energy and effective mass of static quark. Besides the Rindler coordinates, it is believed that accelerated gluodynamics can be approximated utilizing non-accelerated gluodynamics with a properly adjusted temperature gradient in accordance with the Tolman-Ehrenfest law. We compared these approaches for the observables under study. It was found that they agree quite well close to the critical temperature and demonstrate disagreement at higher temperatures. We believe that this disagreement might be attributed to the Tolman-Ehrenfest law corrections which appear in the Rindler gluodynamics.

Continuous Hasenbusch transport towards gauge diffusion with fermions

Incorporating dynamical fermions is a central challenge for diffusion samplers of lattice gauge theories. We propose an analytic pseudofermion sampler based on continuous Hasenbusch transport as a component for gauge diffusion. The construction uses shifted linear solves and a finite-path correction, requiring neither explicit fermion determinant evaluation nor a learned pseudofermion model. We demonstrate the coupling in the two-flavour Schwinger model without neural networks, obtaining corrected physical observables compatible with independent references. We also show why accurate covariance transport can leave large weight fluctuations, tracing them to the backward transition density. This analysis leads to a correction based on the Wilson operator trace that reduces log-weight variance without changing the generated fields or increasing the number of Dirac operator applications. The predicted improvement is verified on previously unused gauge backgrounds. These results provide an analytic option for incorporating fermions in gauge diffusion and a guide to controlling its correction weights.
