Dual Superconductivity in G2 group

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We investigate the dual superconductivity mechanism in the exceptional group G2G_2. This is a centerless group (no 't Hooft flux vortices are allowed) and we check for the presence of a magnetic monopole condensate in the confined phase by measuring on the lattice a disorder parameter related to the vacuum expectation value of an operator carrying magnetic charge. The behaviour of the disorder parameter is consistent with the dual superconductor picture. A first step of an analysis on the thermodynamical properties of the theory is conducted by mean of this operator.
