Dual superconductivity is believed to be a promising mechanism for quark confinement and has been investigated on a lattice effectively by a particular gauge called the maximal Abelian (MA) gauge. We propose a new formulation of SU(3)…

We consider Yang-Mills theory with the U(1) gauge group on a non-commutative plane. Perturbatively it was observed that the invariance of this theory under area-preserving diffeomorphisms (APDs) breaks down to a rigid subgroup SL(2,R). Here…

We study the massive Yang-Mills theory in which the mass term is added by hand. The standard perturbative approach suggests that the massless limit of this theory is not smooth. We confirm that this issue is related to the existence of…
We present the first implementation of the Cho--Faddeev--Niemi ecomposition of the SU(2) Yang-Mills field on a lattice. Our construction retains the color symmetry (global SU(2) gauge invariance) even after a new type of Maximally Abelian…
