We study the correlation function of the 2d SU(2) principal chiral model on the lattice. By rewriting the model in terms of Z(2) degrees of freedom coupled to SO(3) vortices we show that the vortices play a crucial role in disordering the…
A long-range effective action is derived for strong-coupling lattice SU(2) gauge theory in D=3 dimensions. It is shown that center vortices emerge as stable saddlepoints of this action.
In this paper we discuss the classical 3D XY model whose nearest-neighbor interaction is a mixture of $\cos(\theta_i-\theta_j)$ (ferromagnetic) and $\cos2(\theta_i-\theta_j)$ (nematic). This model is dual to a theory with integer and…
It is usual to study confinement via quantum chromodynamics (QCD) alone. The deconfinement transition of the pure gauge theory (i.e. with static quarks) is then characterized by the breaking of center symmetry. Center vortices offer an…
