A New Gauge Fixing Method for Abelian Projection

We formulate a stochastic gauge fixing method to study the gauge dependence of the Abelian projection. We consider a gauge which interpolates between the maximal Abelian gauge and no gauge fixing. We have found that Abelian dominance for the heavy quark potential holds even in a gauge which is far from maximally Abelian one. The heavy quark potentials from monopole and photon contribution are calculated at several values of the gauge parameter, and the former part shows always the confinement behavior.

Monte Carlo Renormalization Group analysis of QCD in two dimensional coupling space

We report our results of the Monte Carlo Renormalization Group analysis in two dimensional coupling space. The qualitative features of the RG flow are described with a phenomenological RG equation. The dependence on the lattice spacing for various actions provides the conditions to determine the parameters entering the RG equation.

Recent topics of infrared effective lattice QCD

Three topics concerning infrared effective lattice QCD are discussed. (1)Perfect lattice action of infrared SU(3) QCD and perfect operators for the static potential are analytically given when we assume two-point monopole interactions alone. The assumption seems to be justified from numerical analyses of pure SU(3) QCD in maximally abelian gauge. (2)Gauge invariance of monopole dominance can be proved theoretically if the gauge invariance of abelian dominance is proved. The gauge invariance of monopole condensation leads us to confinement of abelian neutral but color octet states after abelian projection. (3)A stochastic gauge fixing method is developed to study the gauge dependence of the Abelian projection, which interpolates between the maximally abelian (MA) gauge and no gauge fixing. Abelian dominance for the heavy quark potential holds even in the gauge which is far from Maximally Abelian one.

Optical spectra measured on cleaved surfaces of double-exchange ferromagnet La1-xSrxMnO3

Optical reflectivity spectra were measured on cleaved surfaces of La1-xSrxMnO3 single crystals (x=0.175, T_C=283 K) over a temperature range 10-295 K. The optical conductivity $sigma(ω)$ shows, keeping single-component nature, incoherent-to-coherent crossover with increase of electrical conductivity. The $σ(ω)$ spectrum of low-temperature ferromagnetic-metallic phase (10 K) exhibits a pronounced Drude-like component with large spectral weight, contrary to the previous result. The present result indicates that the optical spectrum of the manganites is sensitive to condition of sample surfaces.

Mesons Above The Deconfining Transition

We analyze temporal and spatial meson correlators in quenched lattice QCD at T>0. Above T_c we find different masses and (spatial) screening masses, signals of plasma formation, and indication of persisting mesonic excitations.

Effects of Chemical Potential on Hadron Masses at Finite Temperature

We study the effects of the chemical potential on the $ρ$ meson mass at finite temperature. Our preliminary results show that some effects are seen in the vicinity of the phase transition point. Although the signal is still too noisy to obtain conclusive physical results within limited statistics, the mass susceptibility is consistent with zero.

Precise Measurement of Optical Reflectivity Spectra Using Defect-Free Surface of La(1-x)Sr(x)MnO(3): Evidence Against Extremely Small Drude Weight

Optical reflectivity spectra of La(1-x)Sr(x)MnO(3) (0<=x<=0.30) were measured on cleavage surfaces of single crystals. The optical conductivity $σ(w) of ferromagnetic-metal La(0.70)Sr(0.30)MnO(3) is characterized by a Drude-like - but not simple Drude - component with large spectral weight below 1.6 eV, which yields a large effective carrier number N*_eff consistent with the results of Hall coefficient and specific heat measurements. The present result demonstrates that the previous result of "small Drude weight" originates from the damage of the sample surface. The Sr-substitution effect on the electronic structure and the origin of the unconventional $σ(w) are also discussed.

Finite Temperature QCD on Anisotropic Lattices

Scaling Analysis of Improved Actions for Pure SU(3) Gauge Theory

We have explored the behaviour of some improved actions based on a nonperturbative renormalization group (RG) analysis in coupling space. We calculate the RG flow in two-coupling space $(\boneone,\bonetwo)$ and examine the restoration of rotational invariance and the scaling of physical quantities $(T_c/\sqrtσ)$.

Finite Temperature Gauge Theory on Anisotropic Lattices

The finite temperature transition of QCD can be seen as a change in the structure of the hadrons and as a symmetry breaking transition -- a change in the structure of the vacuum. These phenomena are observed differently and carry complementary information. We aim at a correlated analysis involving hadronic correlators and the vacuum structure including field and density correlations, both non-trivial questions.

Search for Effective Lattice Action of Pure QCD

We study a coupling flow of pure QCD gauge system by using the Monte Carlo Renormalization Group method. A rough location of the renormalized trajectory in two coupling space is obtained. Also we compare 4 different actions; (a)standard Wilson, (b)Symanzik's, (c)Iwasaki's and (d)QCDTARO's. The rotational symmetry is restored better as an action gets close to the renormalized trajectory.

Gluon Propagators and Confinement

We present SU(3) gluon propagators calculated on 48*48*48*N_t lattices at beta=6.8 where N_t=64 (corresponding the confinement phase) and N_t=16 (deconfinement) with the bare gauge parameter,alpha, set to be 0.1. In order to avoid Gribov copies, we employ the stochastic gauge fixing algorithm. Gluon propagators show quite different behavior from those of massless gauge fields: (1) In the confinement phase, G(t) shows massless behavior at small and large t, while around 5<t<15 it behaves as massive particle, and (2) effective mass observed in G(z) becomes larger as z increases. (3) In the deconfinement phase, G(z) shows also massive behavior but effective mass is less than in the confinement case. In all cases, slope masses are increasing functions of t or z, which can not be understood as addtional physical poles.

Systematic study of autocorrelation time in pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory

Results of our autocorrelation measurement performed on Fujitsu AP1000 are reported. We analyze (i) typical autocorrelation time, (ii) optimal mixing ratio between overrelaxation and pseudo-heatbath and (iii) critical behavior of autocorrelation time around cross-over region with high statistic in wide range of $β$ for pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory on $8^4$, $16^4$ and $32^4$ lattices. For the mixing ratio K, small value (3-7) looks optimal in the confined region, and reduces the integrated autocorrelation time by a factor 2-4 compared to the pseudo-heatbath. On the other hand in the deconfined phase, correlation times are short, and overrelaxation does not seem to matter For a fixed value of K(=9 in this paper), the dynamical exponent of overrelaxation is consistent with 2 Autocorrelation measurement of the topological charge on $32^3 \times 64$ lattice at $β$ = 6.0 is also briefly mentioned.

Scaling Study of Pure Gauge Lattice QCD by Monte Carlo Renormalization Group Method

The scaling behavior of pure gauge SU(3) in the region $β=5.85 - 7.60$ is examined by a Monte Carlo Renormalization Group analysis. The coupling shifts induced by factor 2 blocking are measured both on 32$^4$ and 16$^4$ lattices with high statistics. A systematic deviation from naive 2-loop scaling is clearly seen. The mean field and effective coupling constant schemes explain part, but not all of the deviation. It can be accounted for by a suitable change of coupling constant, including a correction term ${\cal O}(g^7)$ in the 2-loop lattice $β$-function. Based on this improvement, $\sqrtσ/Λ_{\overline {MS}}^{n_f=0}$ is estimated to be $2.2(\pm 0.1)$ from the analysis of the string tension $σ$.

Autocorrelation in Updating Pure SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory by the use of Overrelaxed Algorithms

We measure the sweep-to-sweep autocorrelations of blocked loops below and above the deconfinement transition for SU(3) on a $16^4$ lattice using 20000-140000 Monte-Carlo updating sweeps. A divergence of the autocorrelation time toward the critical $β$ is seen at high blocking levels. The peak is near $β$ = 6.33 where we observe 440 $\pm$ 210 for the autocorrelation time of $1\times 1$ Wilson loop on $2^4$ blocked lattice. The mixing of 7 Brown-Woch overrelaxation steps followed by one pseudo-heat-bath step appears optimal to reduce the autocorrelation time below the critical $β$. Above the critical $β$, however, no clear difference between these two algorithms can be seen and the system decorrelates rather fast.
