It is shown that the creation of a monopole is a gauge invariant statement, based on topology. Creating a monopole is independent on the abelian projection in which it is created. This is fundamental in defining an order parameter for…
We generate a series of pseudopotentials to examine the relationship between pseudoatomic properties and solid-state results. We find that lattice constants and bulk moduli are quite sensitive to eigenvalue, total-energy difference and tail…
We investigate possible problems with universality in lattice gauge theory where a mixed fundamental SU(2) and SO(3)-invariant gauge group is used: the (second order) finite temperature phase transition becomes involved with first order…
We describe the orbit structure for the action of the centralizer group of a linear operator on a finite-dimensional complex vector space. The main application is to the classification of solutions to a system of first-order ODEs with…
Lattice states are a class of quantum states that naturally generalize the fundamental set of Bell states. We apply recent results from quantum error correction and from one-way local operations and classical communication (LOCC) theory,…
The monopole creation operator proposed recently by Frohlich and Marchetti is investigated in the Abelian Higgs model with compact gauge field. We show numerically that the creation operator detects the condensation of monopoles in the…
Several lattice models display a condensation transition in real space when the density of a suitable order parameter exceeds a critical value. We consider one of such models with two conservation laws, in a one-dimensional open setup where…
I give a theoretical overview of magnetic monopoles, focusing on the physical perspective of monopoles as hypothetical particles rather than as mathematical objects. I argue that monopoles are exceptionally interesting hypothetical…
In his influential work Choquet systematically studied capacities on Boolean algebras in a topological space, and gave a probabilistic interpretation for completely monotone (and completely alternating) capacities. Beyond complete…
Our study of the energy distribution has shown that the strength of the first order transition in the four-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory decreases when the coupling $\lambda$ of the monopole term increases. The disappearance…
We review recent results from lattice on topological aspects of QCD: most of the results refer to monopoles and to instantons. We discuss in detail the evidence for condensation of monopoles in the vacuum and confinement of colour by dual…
Consider the lattice of bounded linear operators on the space of Borel measures on a Polish space. We prove that the operators which are continuous with respect to the weak topology induced by the bounded measurable functions form a…
We propose a method to create a monopole structure in a spin-1 spinor condensate by applying the basic methods used to create vortices and solitons experimentally in single-component condensates. We show, however, that by using a…
Theory of pointlike magnetic monopole with an arbitrary magnetic charge is considered. It is shown that a proper description requires making use of nonunitary representations of the rotation group and the nonassociative generalization of…
We present a systematic method for constructing lattice QCD operators for systems of an arbitrary number of particles with arbitrary momentum, spin, and internal quantum numbers. Explicit constructions are provided for one-, two-, three-,…
We investigate some properties of thick vortices and thick monopoles in the SU(2) lattice gauge theory by inserting operators that create these excitations. We measure the derivative of the free energy of the vortex with respect to the…
We discuss how lattice calculations can be a useful tool for the study of structure functions. Particular emphasis is given to the perturbative renormalization of the operators.
The first-order phase transition of $O(3)$ symmetric model is considered in the limit of high temperature. It is shown that this model supports a new bubble solution where the global monopole is formed at the center of the buble in addition…
It is shown that unification of strong and Electroweak interactions at Tev scale may lead to appearance of topologically stable monopoles with masses of the order of 40 Tev. Those monopoles may play an important role in the early Universe,…
In lattice compact gauge theories, we must impose the admissibility condition to have well-defined topological sectors. The admissibility condition, however, usually forbids the presence of magnetic operators, and it is not so trivial if…
