Direct Laplacian Center Gauge

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2010-02-03 v1

Abstract

We introduce a variation of direct maximal center gauge fixing: the ``direct Laplacian'' center gauge. The new procedure overcomes certain shortcomings of maximal center gauge, associated with Gribov copies, that were pointed out by Bornyakov et al. in hep-lat/0009035.
