Topological charge of Center Vortices

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The topological charge of center vortices is discussed in terms of the self-intersection number of the closed vortex surfaces in 4-dimensional Euclidian space-time and in terms of the temporal changes of the writhing number of the time-dependent vortex loops in 3-dimensional space.
