Quark Confinement Physics from Lattice QCD

We study quark confinement physics using lattice QCD. In the maximally abelian (MA) gauge, the off-diagonal gluon amplitude is strongly suppressed, and then the off-diagonal gluon phase shows strong randomness, which leads to a large effective off-diagonal gluon mass, M_off=1.2GeV. Due to the large off-diagonal gluon mass in the MA gauge, low-energy QCD is abelianized like nonabelian Higgs theories. In the MA gauge, there appears a macroscopic network of the monopole world-line covering the whole system. We extract and analyze the dual gluon field B_mu from the monopole-current system in the MA gauge, and evaluate the dual gluon mass as m_B = 0.4-0.5GeV in the infrared region, which is a lattice-QCD evidence of the dual Higgs mechanism by monopole condensation. Even without explicit use of gauge fixing, we can define the maximal abelian projection by introducing a ``gluonic Higgs field'' phi(x), whose hedgehog singularities lead to monopoles. From infrared abelian dominance and infrared monopole condensation, infrared QCD is describable with the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory. In relation to the color-flux-tube picture for baryons, we study the three-quark (3Q) ground-state potential V_3Q in SU(3) lattice QCD at the quenched level, with the smearing technique for enhancement of the ground-state component. With accuracy better than a few %, V_3Q is well described by a sum of the two-body Coulomb part and the three-body linear confinement part sigma_3Q L_min, where L_min denotes the minimal value of the total length of the color flux tube linking the three quarks. Comparing with the Q-barQ potential, we find a universal feature of the string tension and the OGE result for the Coulomb coefficient.

Construction of the Dual Ginzburg-Landau Theory from the Lattice QCD

We briefly review the QCD physics and then introduce recent topics on the confinement physics. In the maximally abelian (MA) gauge, the low-energy QCD is abelianized owing to the effective off-diagonal gluon mass $M_{\rm off} \simeq 1.2 {\rm GeV}$ induced by the MA gauge fixing. We demonstrate the construction of the dual Ginzburg-Landau (DGL) theory from the low-energy QCD in the MA gauge in terms of the lattice QCD evidences on infrared abelian dominance and infrared monopole condensation.

Hadron Physics and Confinement Physics in Lattice QCD

We are aiming to construct Quark Hadron Physics and Confinement Physics based on QCD. Using SU(3)$_c$ lattice QCD, we are investigating the three-quark potential at T=0 and $T \ne 0$, mass spectra of positive and negative-parity baryons in the octet and the decuplet representations of the SU(3) flavor, glueball properties at T=0 and $T \ne 0$. We study also Confinement Physics using lattice QCD. In the maximally abelian (MA) gauge, the off-diagonal gluon amplitude is strongly suppressed, and then the off-diagonal gluon phase shows strong randomness, which leads to a large effective off-diagonal gluon mass, $M_{\rm off} \simeq 1.2 {\rm GeV}$. Due to the large off-diagonal gluon mass in the MA gauge, infrared QCD is abelianized like nonabelian Higgs theories. In the MA gauge, there appears a macroscopic network of the monopole world-line covering the whole system. From the monopole current, we extract the dual gluon field $B_μ$, and examine the longitudinal magnetic screening. We obtain $m_B \simeq$ 0.5 GeV in the infrared region, which indicates the dual Higgs mechanism by monopole condensation. From infrared abelian dominance and infrared monopole condensation, low-energy QCD in the MA gauge is described with the dual Ginzburg-Landau (DGL) theory.

Infrared Abelian Dominance and Dual Higgs Mechanism in Maximally Abelian Gauge

We study infrared abelian dominance and the dual Higgs mechanism in the maximally abelian (MA) gauge using the lattice QCD Monte Carlo simulation. In the MA gauge, the off-diagonal gluon phase tends to be random, and the off-diagonal gluon $A_μ^\pm$ acquires the effective mass as $M_{\rm off} \simeq$ 1.2 GeV. From the monopole current in the MA gauge, we extract the dual gluon field $B_μ$ and estimate the dual gluon mass as $m_B \simeq $ 0.5 GeV. The QCD-monopole structure is also investigated in terms of off-diagonal gluons. From the lattice QCD in the MA gauge, the dual Ginzburg-Landau (DGL) theory can be constructed as a realistic infrared effective theory based on QCD.

Strong randomness of off-diagonal gluon phases and off-diagonal gluon mass in the maximally abelian gauge in QCD

We study abelianization of QCD in the maximally abelian (MA) gauge. In the MA gauge, the off-diagonal gluon amplitude is strongly suppressed, and then the off-diagonal gluon phase shows strong randomness, which leads to a large off-diagonal gluon mass. Using lattice QCD, we find a large effective off-diagonal gluon mass in the MA gauge: $M_{\rm off} \simeq 1.2 {\rm GeV}$ in SU(2) QCD, $M_{\rm off} \simeq 1.1 {\rm GeV}$ in SU(3) QCD. Due to the large off-diagonal gluon mass in the MA gauge, infrared QCD is well abelianized like nonabelian Higgs theories. We investigate the inter-monopole potential and the dual gluon field $B_μ$ in the MA gauge, and find longitudinal magnetic screening with $m_B \simeq$ 0.5 GeV in the infrared region, which indicates the dual Higgs mechanism by monopole condensation. We propose a gauge invariant description of the MA projection by introducing the ``gluonic Higgs scalar field''.

Possible Hadronic Molecule Lambda(1405) and Thermal Glueballs in SU(3) Lattice QCD

We aim to construct quark hadron physics based on QCD. First, using lattice QCD, we study mass spectra of positive-parity and negative-parity baryons in the octet, the decuplet and the singlet representations of the SU(3) flavor. In particular, we consider the lightest negative-parity baryon, the $Λ$(1405), which can be an exotic hadron as the $N \bar K$ molecular state or the flavor-singlet three-quark state. We investigate the negative-parity flavor-singlet three-quark state in lattice QCD using the quenched approximation, where the dynamical quark-anitiquark pair creation is absent and no mixing occurs between the three-quark and the five-quark states. Our lattice QCD analysis suggests that the flavor-singlet three-quark state is so heavy that the $Λ$(1405) cannot be identified as the three-quark state, which supports the possibility of the molecular-state picture of the $Λ$(1405). Second, we study thermal properties of the scalar glueball in an anisotropic lattice QCD, and find about 300 MeV mass reduction near the QCD critical temperature from the pole-mass analysis. Finally, we study the three-quark potential, which is responsible to the baryon properties. The detailed lattice QCD analysis for the 3Q potential indicates the Y-type flux-tube formation linking the three quarks.

Lambda(1405) and Negative-Parity Baryons in Lattice QCD

We review briefly recent studies of the Lambda(1405) spectrum in Lattice QCD. Ordinary three-quark pictures of the Lambda(1405) in quenched Lattice QCD fail to reproduce the mass of the experimental value, which seems to support the penta-quark picture for the Lambda(1405) such as a Kbar-N molecule-like state. It is also noted that the present results suffer from relatively large systematic uncertainties coming from the finite volume effect, the chiral extrapolation and the quenching effect.

Y-type Flux-Tube Formation in Baryons

For more than 300 different patterns of the 3Q systems, the ground-state 3Q potential $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm g.s.}$ is investigated using SU(3) lattice QCD with $12^3\times 24$ at $β=5.7$ and $16^3\times 32$ at $β=5.8, 6.0$ at the quenched level. As a result of the detailed analyses, we find that the ground-state potential $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm g.s.}$ is well described with so-called Y-ansatz as $V_{\rm 3Q}=-A_{\rm 3Q}\sum_{i<j}\frac1{|{\bf r}_i-{\bf r}_j|} +σ_{\rm 3Q} L_{\rm min}+C_{\rm 3Q}$, with the accuracy better than 1%. Here, $L_{\rm min}$ denotes the minimal value of total flux-tube length. We also studythe excited-state potential $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm e.s.}$ using lattice QCD with $16^3\times 32$ at $β=5.8, 6.0$ for more than 100 patterns of the 3Q systems. The energy gap between $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm g.s.}$ and $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm e.s.}$, which physically means the gluonic excitation energy, is found to be about 1 GeV in the typical hadronic scale. Finally, we suggest a possible scenario which connects the success of the quark model to QCD.

Detailed Lattice-QCD Study for the Three-Quark Potential and Y-type Flux-Tube Formation

We study the ground-state three-quark (3Q) potential $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm g.s.}$ and the excited-state 3Q potential $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm e.s.}$ using SU(3) lattice Q CD. From the accurate and thorough calculation for more than 300 different patterns of 3Q systems, the static ground-state 3Q potential $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm g.s.}$ is found to be well described by the Coulomb plus Y-type linear potential, i.e., Y-ansatz, within 1%-level deviation. With lattice QCD, we calculate also the excited-state potential in the 3Q system, and find the gluonic excitation energy, $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm e.s.}-V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm g.s.}$, to be about 1 GeV. This large gluonic-excitation energy would play an essential role to the success of the quark model for the low-lying hadrons in terms of the absence of the gluonic mode.

Negative-Parity Baryons in Quenched Anisotropic Lattice QCD

We study negative-parity baryon spectra in quenched anisotropic lattice QCD. The negative-parity baryons are measured as the parity partner of the ground-state baryons. In addition to the flavor octet and decuplet baryons, we pay much attention to the flavor-singlet negative-parity baryon as a three-quark state and compare it with the Lambda(1405) baryon. Numerical results of the flavor octet and decuplet negative-parity baryon masses are close to experimental values of lowest-lying negative-parity baryons, while the flavor-singlet baryon is much heavier than Lambda(1405). This indicates that the Lambda(1405) would be a multi-quark state such as the N-Kbar molecule rather than the flavor-singlet 3 quark state.

Negative-parity baryon spectra in quenched anisotropic lattice QCD

We investigate the negative-parity baryon spectra in quenched lattice QCD. We employ the anisotropic lattice with standard Wilson gauge and O(a) improved Wilson quark actions at three values of lattice spacings with renormalized anisotropy xi=a_sigma/a_tau=4, where a_sigma and a_tau are spatial and temporal lattice spacings, respectively. The negative-parity baryons are measured with the parity projection. In particular, we pay much attention to the lowest SU(3) flavor-singlet negative-parity baryon, which is assigned as the Lambda(1405) in the quark model. For the flavor octet and decuplet negative-parity baryons, the calculated masses are close to the experimental values of corresponding lowest-lying negative-parity baryons. In contrast, the flavor-singlet baryon is found to be about 1.7 GeV, which is much heavier than the Lambda(1405). Therefore, it is difficult to identify the Lambda(1405) to be the flavor-singlet three-quark state, which seems to support an interesting picture of the penta-quark (uds qbar q) state or the N-Kbar molecule for the Lambda(1405).

Static Three-Quark Potential in SU(3) Lattice QCD Monte-Carlo Simulation

The static three-quark(3Q) potential is investigated in the SU(3) lattice QCD at the quenched level, using the standard Wilson action with $β=5.7 (a\simeq 0.2{\rm fm})$ and $12^3\times 24$. With the 3Q Wilson loop, the ground-state 3Q potential $V_{\rm 3Q}$ is calculated for 16 patterns of the 3Q configuration, using the smearing technique, which enhances the ground-state overlap of the 3Q operator. With the accuracy better than a few %, the lattice QCD data for $V_{\rm 3Q}$ are well described by a sum of the Coulomb term, a constant and the linear term which is proportional to the minimal length $L_{\rm min}$ of the flux-tube linking the 3 quarks. Our results seem to support the Y-type flux picture rather than $Δ$-type one. From the comparison of $V_{\rm 3Q}$ with the ${\rm Q}$-${\rm \bar{Q}}$ potential, we find the universality of the string tension, $σ_{\rm 3Q}\simeq σ_{\rm Q\bar{Q}}$ as well as the OGE relation on the Coulomb coefficient, $A_{\rm 3Q}\simeq {1/2}A_{\rm Q\bar{Q}}$.

Behind the success of the quark model

The ground-state three-quark (3Q) potential $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm g.s.}$ and the excited-state 3Q potential $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm e.s.}$ are studied using SU(3) lattice QCD at the quenched level. For more than 300 patterns of the 3Q systems, the ground-state potential $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm g.s.}$ is investigated in detail in lattice QCD with $12^3\times 24$ at $β=5.7$ and with $16^3\times 32$ at $β=5.8, 6.0$. As a result, the ground-state potential $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm g.s.}$ is found to be well described with Y-ansatz within the 1%-level deviation. From the comparison with the Q-$\rm\bar Q$ potential, we find the universality of the string tension as $σ_{\rm 3Q}\simeqσ_{\rm Q\bar Q}$ and the one-gluon-exchange result as $A_{\rm 3Q}\simeq\frac12 A_{\rm Q\bar Q}$. The excited-state potential $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm e.s.}$ is also studied in lattice QCD with $16^3\times 32$ at $β=5.8$ for 24 patterns of the 3Q systems.The energy gap between $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm g.s.}$ and $V_{\rm 3Q}^{\rm e.s.}$, which physically means the gluonic excitation energy, is found to be about 1GeV in the typical hadronic scale, which is relatively large compared with the excitation energy of the quark origin. This large gluonic excitation energy justifies the great success of the simple quark model.

Instanton and Monopole in External Chromomagnetic Fields

We study properties of instanton and monopole in an external chromomagnetic field. Generally, the 't Hooft ansatz is no longer a solution of the Yang-Mills field equation in the presence of external fields. Therefore, we investigate a stabilized instanton solution with minimal total Yang-Mills action in a nontrivial topological sector. With this aim, we consider numerical minimization of the action with respect to the global color orientation, the anisotropic scale transformation and the local gauge-like transformation starting from a simple superposed gauge field of the 't Hooft ansatz and the external color field. Here, the external color field is, for simplicity, chosen to be a constant Abelian magnetic field along a certain direction. Then, the 4-dimensional rotational symmetry O(4) of the instanton solution is reduced to two 2-dimensional rotational symmetries $O(2)\times O(2)$ due to the effect of a homogeneous external field. In the space $\mib{R}^{3}$ at fixed $t$, we find a quadrupole deformation of this instanton solution. In the presence of a magnetic field $\vec{H}$, a prolate deformation occurs along the direction of $\vec{H}$. Contrastingly, in the presence of an electric field $\vec{E}$ an oblate deformation occurs along the direction of $\vec{E}$. We further discuss the local correlation between the instanton and the monopole in the external field in the maximally Abelian gauge. The external field affects the appearance of the monopole trajectory around the instanton. In fact, a monopole and anti-monopole pair appears around the instanton center, and this monopole loop seems to partially screen the external field.

Three-quark ground-state potential in the SU(3) lattice QCD

With the smearing technique, the three-quark (3Q) ground-state potential $V_{\rm 3Q}$ is numerically extracted in the SU(3)$_c$ lattice QCD Monte Carlo simulation with $12^3 \times 24$ and $β=5.7$ at the quenched level. With accuracy better than a few %, $V_{\rm 3Q}$ is well described by a sum of a constant $C_{\rm 3Q}$, the two-body Coulomb part $-A_{\rm 3Q}\sum_{i<j} \frac1{|{\bf r}_i-{\bf r}_j|}$ and the three-body linear confinement part $σ_{\rm 3Q} L_{\rm min}$, where $L_{\rm min}$ denotes the minimal length of the color flux tube linking the three quarks. By comparing with the Q-$\bar {\rm Q}$ potential, we find a universal feature of the string tension as $σ_{\rm 3Q} \simeq σ_{\rm Q \bar Q}$ and the one-gluon-exchange result for the Coulomb coefficient as $A_{\rm 3Q} \simeq \frac12 A_{\rm Q \bar Q}$. All our results including the constant term are consistent with the requirement on the diquark limit in the lattice regularization.

SU(3) lattice QCD study for octet and decuplet baryon spectra

The spectra of octet and decuplet baryons are studied using SU(3) lattice QCD at the quenched level. As an implementation to reduce the statistical fluctuation, we employ the anisotropic lattice with $O(a)$ improved quark action. In relation to $Λ(1405)$, we measure also the mass of the SU(3) flavor-singlet negative-parity baryon, which is described as a three quark state in the quenched lattice QCD, and its lowest mass is measured about 1.6 GeV. Since the experimentally observed negative-parity baryon $Λ(1405)$ is much lighter than 1.6 GeV, $Λ(1405)$ may include a large component of a $N \bar K$ bound state rather than the three quark state. The mass splitting between the octet and the decuplet baryons are also discussed in terms of the current quark mass.

Detailed Analysis of the Three Quark Potential in SU(3) Lattice QCD

The static three-quark (3Q) potential is studied in detail using SU(3) lattice QCD with $12^3 \times 24$ at $β=5.7$ and $16^3 \times 32$ at $β=5.8$, 6.0 at the quenched level. For more than 300 different patterns of the 3Q systems, we perform the accurate measurement of the 3Q Wilson loop with the smearing method, which reduces excited-state contaminations, and present the lattice QCD data of the 3Q ground-state potential $V_{\rm 3Q}$. We perform the detailed fit analysis on $V_{\rm 3Q}$ in terms of the Y-ansatz both with the continuum Coulomb potential and with the lattice Coulomb potential, and find that the lattice QCD data of the 3Q potential $V_{\rm 3Q}$ are well reproduced within a few % deviation by the sum of a constant, the two-body Coulomb term and the three-body linear confinement term $σ_{\rm 3Q} L_{\rm min}$, with $L_{\rm min}$ the minimal value of the total length of color flux tubes linking the three quarks. From the comparison with the Q-$\bar {\rm Q}$ potential, we find a universality of the string tension as $σ_{\rm 3Q} \simeq σ_{\rm Q \bar Q}$ and the one-gluon-exchange result for the Coulomb coefficients as $A_{\rm 3Q} \simeq \frac12 A_{\rm Q \bar Q}$. We investigate also the several fit analyses with the various ansätze: the Y-ansatz with the Yukawa potential, the $Δ$-ansatz and a more general ansatz including the Y and the $Δ$ ansätze in some limits. All these fit analyses support the Y-ansatz on the confinement part in the 3Q potential $V_{\rm 3Q}$, although $V_{\rm 3Q}$ seems to be approximated by the $Δ$-ansatz with $σ_Δ\simeq 0.53 σ$.

SU(3) Lattice QCD Study for Static Three-Quark Potential

We study the static three-quark (3Q) potential in detail using SU(3) lattice QCD with $12^3 \times 24$ at $β=5.7$ and $16^3 \times 32$ at $β=5.8, 6.0$ at the quenched level. For more than 200 patterns of the 3Q systems, we numerically derive 3Q ground-state potential $V_{3Q}$ from the 3Q Wilson loop with the smearing technique, which reduces excited-state contaminations. The lattice QCD data of $V_{3Q}$ are well reproduced within a few % deviation by a sum of a constant, the two-body Coulomb term and the three-body linear confinement term $σ_{3Q} L_{min}$, with $L_{min}$ the minimal value of total length of color flux tubes linking the three quarks. From the comparison with the Q-$\bar {Q}$ potential, we find a universality of the string tension as $σ_{3Q} \simeq σ_{\rm Q \bar Q}$ and the one-gluon-exchange result for Coulomb coefficients, $A_{3Q} \simeq \frac12 A_{\rm Q \bar Q}$.
