I point out two of the subtleties referred to in the title. The first is that gauge-invariant magnetic systems may realized under general circumstances, as suggested by a simple theorem. The second subtlety is that care is needed to…
We perform detailed measurements of the geometrical characteristics of the percolating cluster of the magnetic monopole currents in the confining phase of the lattice SU(2) gluodynamics. The Maximal Abelian projection is used to define the…
We consider a 2+1-dimensional SU(N) lattice gauge theory in an axial gauge with the link field U in the 1-direction set to one. The term in the Hamiltonian containing the square of the electric field in the 1-direction is non-local. Despite…
In this paper we extend the bosonic $D$-brane action in D=10 obtained by duality from the D=11 membrane wrapped on $S^1$ to an SU(2) non abelian system. This system presents only first class constraints, whose algebra closes off-shell and…
We study various representations of the infrared effective theory of SU(2) gluodynamics starting from the monopole action derived recently. We determine the coupling constants in the abelian-Higgs model directly from lattice QCD and…
Starting from the strong-coupling SU(2) Wilson action in D=3 dimensions, we derive an effective, semi-local action on a lattice of spacing L times the spacing of the original lattice. It is shown that beyond the adjoint color-screening…
We report the observation of calorons with nontrivial holonomy and fractional topological charge objects in cooled lattice samples derived from SU(2) equilibrium ensembles at $T<T_c$.
U(2) lattice gauge theory with $\theta$-term in 2 space-time dimensions is investigated. It has non-Abelian real action and Abelian( U(1) type) imaginary action. The imaginary action is defined as the standard $\theta$-term. As the effect…
Let $G$ be a noncompact semisimple Lie group, $\Gamma$ be an irreducible cocompact lattice in $G$, and $P<G$ be a minimal parabolic subgroup. We consider the dynamics of $P$ acting on $G/\Gamma$ by left translation. For any infinite subset…
The lowest-lying glueball masses are computed in SU($N$) gauge theory on a spacetime lattice for constant value of the lattice spacing $a$ and for $N$ ranging from 3 to 8. The lattice spacing is fixed using the deconfinement temperature at…
We analyze the problem of the Nielsen-Olesen unstable modes in the $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory by means of a recently introduced gauge-invariant effective action. We perform numerical simulations in the case of a constant Abelian…
We study nonequilibrium dynamics of SU(2) lattice gauge theory in Minkowski space-time in a classical-statistical regime, where characteristic gluon occupancies are much larger than unity. In this strongly correlated system far from…
We find, in close analogy to abelian dominance in maximal abelian gauge, the phenomenon of center dominance in maximal center gauge for $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory. Maximal center gauge is a gauge-fixing condition that preserves a residual…
The low-energy vortex effective action is constructed in a wide class of systems in a color-flavor locked vacuum, which generalizes the results found earlier in the context of U(N) models. It describes the weak fluctuations of the…
We present studies of the magnetic field distribution around the vortices in LuNi2B2C. Small-angle neutron scattering measurements of the vortex lattice (VL) in this material were extended to unprecedentedly large values of the scattering…
We point out that half-quantized non-Abelian vortices exist as the minimum energy states in rotating neutron $^3P_2$ superfluids in the inner cores of magnetars with magnetic field greater than $3 \times 10^{15}$ Gauss, while they do not in…
We study the behavior of the gluon and ghost dressing functions in SU(3) Landau gauge at low momenta available on lattice sizes 12^4-32^4 at $\beta$=5.8, 6.0 and 6.2. We demonstrate the ghost dressing function to be systematically dependent…
The chromomagnetic vacuum of SU(2) gluodynamics is considered in the background of a finite radius flux tube (center-vortex) with homogeneous field inside and zero field outside. In this background there are tachyonic modes. These modes…
We study theoretically and numerically the ground state of a gas of 2D abelian anyons in an external trapping potential. We treat anyon statistics in the magnetic gauge picture, perturbatively around the bosonic end. This leads to a…
Three dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory is studied after eliminating thin monopoles and the smallest thick monopoles. Kinematically this constraint allows the formation of thick vortex loops which produce Z(2) fluctuations at longer…
