A nonabelian Wilson surface on a lattice

High Energy Physics - Theory 2026-05-01 v2

Abstract

We analyze the nonabelian surface holonomy on a bipartite hypercubic lattice following a proposal in arXiv:1002.4636 [hep-th]. The bipartite structure of the lattice enables us to introduce spike string configurations. These spikes play a crucial role for the time evolution of the string when the total number of color indices changes.
