Study of SU(3) vortex-like configurations with a new maximal center gauge fixing method

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We present a new way of fixing the gauge to (direct) maximal center gauge in SU(N) Yang-Mills theory and apply this method to SU(3) configurations which are vortex-like. We study the structure of the Z_3 configurations obtained after center-projecting the SU(3) ones.
