A Ginzburg-Landau Analysis of the Colour Electric Flux Tube

In a simulation of SU(2) gauge theory we investigate, after maximal Abelian projection, the dual Maxwell equations for colour field and monopole current distributions around a static quark-antiquark pair Q_ Q in vacuo. Within the dual superconductor picture we carry out a Ginzburg-Landau type analysis of the flux tube profile. As a result we can determine the coherence length of the GL wave function related to the monopole condensate, xi = .25(3) fm, to be compared to the penetration length, lambda = >.15(2) fm (scaled with the string tension).

The Structure of Flux Tubes in Maximal Abelian Gauge

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 curl and divergence allow for detailed checks of the dual superconductor scenario. A further decomposition of abelian observables into monopole and photon parts reveals that the flux tube is built up from the monopole part alone.

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.

Color Flux Profiles in SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory

Results of a high statistics study of chromo field distributions around static sources in pure SU(2) gauge theory on lattices of volumes $16^4$, $32^4$, and $48^3\times 64$ at $β=2.5$, $2.635$, and $2.74$ are presented. We establish string formation up to physical distances as large as 2 fm.
