Wilson-Loop Symmetry Breaking Reexamined

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-26 v1

Abstract

The splitting in energy of gauge field vacua on the non-simply connected space S3/Z2S^3/Z_2 is reconsidered. We show the calculation to the one-loop level for a Yang-Mills vector with a ghost field. We confirm our previous result and give a solution to the question posed by Freire, Rom\~ao and Barroso.
