Abstract

The structure of the SU(3) gauge-field vacuum is explored through visualisations of centre vortices and topological charge density. Stereoscopic visualisations highlight interesting features of the vortex vacuum, especially the frequency with which singular points appear and the important connection between branching points and topological charge. This work demonstrates how visualisations of the QCD ground-state fields can reveal new perspectives of centre-vortex structure.
