Making use of ansatzs for the form fields in the 10d type IIA supergravity version of the ABJM model, we come with a solution in the Euclidean signature recognized as a monopole instanton-like object. Indeed we will see that we can have a…
We find semi-local fractional instantons of codimension four in Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories coupled with scalar fields and the corresponding ${\mathbb C}P^{N-1}$ and Grassmann sigma models at strong gauge coupling. They are 1/4…
The topological properties of magnetic monopoles and center vortices arising, respectively, in Abelian and center gauges are studied in continuum Yang-Mills Theory. For this purpose the continuum analog of the maximum center gauge is…
We study the confinement physics in QCD in the maximally abelian (MA) gauge using the SU(2) lattice QCD. To clarify the origin of abelian dominance for the long-range physics, we study the charged-gluon propagator in the lattice QCD, and…
An Abelian gauge model, with vector and 2-form potential fields linked by a topological mass term that mixes the two Abelian factors, is shown to exhibit Dirac-like magnetic monopoles in the presence of a matter background. In addition,…
Yang-Mills theory is studied in a variant of 't Hooft's maximal Abelian gauge. In this gauge magnetic monopoles arise in the Abelian magnetic field. We show, however, that the full (non-Abelian) magnetic field does not possess any…
We study monopoles and gluon fields in QCD in the maximally abelian (MA) gauge in the context of the dual superconductor picture for confinement. In the abelian gauge, unit-charge magnetic monopoles appear, but multi-charge monopoles do not…
We point out that there exists a generalization of instanton symmmetry in the Coulomb phase of 5d nonabelian gauge theories which is capable of measuring a wider class of topological charges of monopole strings. The symmetry is invertible…
The monopole equations in the dual abelian theory of the N=2 gauge-theory, recently proposed by Witten as a new tool to study topological invariants, are shown to be the simplest elements in a class of instanton equations that follow from…
In this talk, instantons are discussed in the presence of Lorentz violation. Conventional topological arguments are applied to classify the modified solutions to the Yang-Mills equations according to the topological charge. Explicit…
We formulate a stochastic gauge fixing method to study the gauge dependence of Abelian projection. In this method, one can change the gauge from the maximally Abelian one to no gauge fixing continuously. We have found that the linear part…
Monopole dominance for the nonperturbative features in QCD is studied both in the continuum and the lattice gauge theories. First, we study the dynamical chiral-symmetry breaking (D$\chi $SB) in the dual Higgs theory using the effective…
Using the renormalization group motivated smoothing technique, the large scale structure of lattice configurations at finite temperature is characterized in terms of Abelian monopoles identified in the maximally Abelian, the Laplacian…
We study properties of instanton and monopole in an external chromomagnetic field. Generally, the 't Hooft ansatz is no longer a solution of the Yang-Mills field equation in the presence of external fields. Therefore, we investigate a…
The dual Meissner effect is described and numerically observed in a gauge-invariant way in lattice Monte-Carlo simulations of pure SU(2) QCD. A gauge-invariant monopole-like quantity on the lattice is defined by a gauge-invariant…
Extended Abelian monopoles are investigated in SU(2) lattice gauge theory in three dimensions. Monopoles are computed by Abelian projection in several gauges, including the maximal Abelian gauge. The number $N_m$ of extended monopoles in a…
This letter presents a novel model that characterizes the curvature of space-time, influenced by a massive gauge field in the early universe. This curvature can lead to a multitude of observations, including the Hubble tension issue and the…
We find a phenomenon in a non-gravitational gauge theory analogous to the replica wormhole in a quantum gravity theory. We consider a reservoir of a scalar field coupled with a gauge theory contained in a region with a boundary by an…
We derive the precise relation between level matching condition and fractional instanton numbers in six dimensional, abelian and supersymmetric orbifolds of E8 x E8 heterotic string theory. The fractional part of the two E8 instanton…
We investigate the relationship between colour confinement and the monopoles derived from the Cho-Duan-Ge decomposition. These monopoles, unlike Dirac and 't Hooft monopoles, do not require a singular gauge field and are defined for any…
