We study quenched hadron spectra with Wilson fermion in abelian gauge fields extracted by maximal abelian projection and in fields induced by monopoles on $16^3 \times 32 $ and $ 12^3 \times 24$ lattices. Pion mass squared and quark mass…
We conjecture that in the chiral limit of QCD the spectrum of hadrons is comprised of decoupled, reducible chiral multiplets. A simple rule is developed which identifies the chiral representations filled out by the ground-state hadrons. Our…
The infra-red properties of three-dimensional abelian lattice gauge theory are known to be governed by a neutral plasma of magnetic monopole excitations. We address the fate of these monopoles in the presence of light dynamical fermions,…
Pseudoscalar correlator is measured in a singular (monopole dominant) and a regular (photon dominant) parts of a maximal abelian field on SU(2) lattice. In the abelian field and its singular part, light pseudoscalar boson are observed…
We present results from a Monte Carlo simulation of non-compact lattice QED in 3 dimensions in which an explicit anisotropy $\kappa$ between $x$ and $y$ hopping terms has been introduced into the action. Using a parameter set corresponding…
Using the pole shifting procedure of the modified quenched approximation (MQA) to cure the exceptional configuration problem, accurate hadron hadron spectrum calculations can be obtained at very light quark mass. Here we use the MQA to…
We (try to) pedagogically explain how monopoles arise in QCD, why maximal Abelian(MA) gauge is ``special'' for monopole study, the Abelian projection in MA gauge, its resultant degrees of freedom(photons, monopoles and charged matter…
We present the first direct evidence that quenched QCD differs from full QCD in the chiral ($m_q \rightarrow 0$) limit, as predicted by chiral perturbation theory, from our quenched lattice QCD simulations at $\beta = 6/g^2 = 6.0$. We…
We present results for the mass spectrum and decay constants using non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. Three values of $\beta$ and 30 different quark masses are used to obtain the chiral and continuum limits. Special emphasis…
We investigate the limit of vanishing quark mass in quenched lattice QCD with unimproved Wilson fermions at $\beta=6.0$. Exploiting the correlations of propagators at different time slices we extract pion masses extremely close to the…
We study topological aspects of the QCD vacuum structure in SU(2) lattice gauge theory with the abelian gauge fixing. The index of the Dirac operator is measured by using the Wilson fermion in the quenched approximation. We find…
This talk contains an analysis of quenched chiral perturbation theory and its consequences. The chiral behavior of a number of quantities such as the pion mass $m_\pi^2$, the Bernard-Golterman ratios $R$ and $\chi$, the masses of nucleons,…
We study spontaneous chiral-symmetry breaking in SU(3) QCD in terms of the dual superconductor picture for quark confinement in the maximally Abelian (MA) gauge, using lattice QCD Monte Carlo simulations with four different lattices of…
Topologically non-trivial gauge field configurations are an interesting aspect of non-abelian gauge theories. These become particularly important upon quantizing the theory, especially through their effect on the pseudo-scalar spectrum.…
Calculations of the chiral condensate $\langle \bar{\psi} \psi \rangle$ on the lattice using staggered fermions and the Lanczos algorithm are presented. Three gauge fields are considered: the quenched non-Abelian field, the Abelian field…
Calculations of the chiral condensate on the lattice using staggered fermions and the Lanczos algorithm are presented. Four gauge fields are considered: the quenched non-Abelian field, an Abelian projected field, and monopole and photon…
Monopole and photon contributions to Wilson loops are calculated using Monte-Carlo simulations of SU(2) QCD in the maximally abelian gauge. The string tensions of SU(2) QCD are well reproduced by extended monopole contributions alone.
We report the final results of the CP-PACS calculation for the quenched light hadron spectrum with the Wilson quark action. Our data support the presence of quenched chiral singularities, and this motivates us to use mass formulae based on…
Possible modes of asymptotic behavior of the amplitudes of hadron scattering in QCD are discussed. It is shown that the condition of triviality of the scattering matrix when the interaction of the fundamental fields is turned off leads to…
Monopoles have recently been discussed to be a dominant component in strong coupled quark gluon plasma ( QGP ) and to play a role for chiral symmetry breaking as well as quark confinement. We analyze monopole quark interactions and show…
