The thick- or fat-center-vortices model has been applied to a calculation of the potentials between static sources of various SU(4) representations. For intermediate distances, a linear potential is obtained. For this region the string…
The thick center vortex model is applied to G(2) gauge group to obtain the potentials between static sources of the fundamental and adjoint representations. The group G(2) has only one trivial center element and therefore it does not have…
We study the relation between center vortex fluxes and monopole fluxes for $SU(2)$ gauge group in a model. This model is the same as thick center vortex model but we use monopole-antimonopole configurations instead of center vortices in the…
Sources in higher representations of SU(N) gauge theory at T=0 couple with apparently stable strings with tensions depending on the specific representation rather than on its N-ality. Similarly at the deconfining temperature these sources…
We study the potential between static SU(4) sources using the Model of Thick Center Vortices. Such vortices are characterized by the center elements $z_1=\mathrm i$ and $z_2=z_1^2$. Fitting the ratios of string tensions to those obtained in…
The coefficients in the 1/N expansions of the vacuum expectation values and correlation functions of Wilson loops, in continuum SU(N) gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions, are shown to be determined by a closed and complete set of equations,…
We present simulation results comparing the SU(3) heavy quark potential extracted from the full Wilson loop expectation to that extracted from the expectation of the Wilson loop fluctuation solely by elements of Z(3). The two potentials are…
The potentials between static sources in various representaions in SU(3) are calculated based on the fat-center-vortices model of Faber, Greensite and Olejnik. At intermediate distances, most distributions of the flux within vortices lead…
We study the form factor of a generic gauge-invariant local composite operator in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory. At tree level and for a minimal number of external on-shell super fields, we find that the form factor precisely yields the…
Using vacuum domain structure model, trivial static potentials in various representations of $F_4$, $E_6$ and $G_2$ exceptional groups are calculated by means of the unit center element. Due to the absence of the non-trivial center…
The potentials and string tensions between static sources in a variety of representations (fundamental, 8, 6, 15-antisymmetric, 10, 27 and 15-symmetric) have been computed by measuring Wilson loops in pure gauge SU(3). The simulations have…
We investigate the high energy behavior of the SU(N) chiral Gross-Neveu model in 1 + 1 dimensions. The model is integrable and matrix elements of several local operators (form factors) are known exactly. The form factors show rapidity space…
To help understand the centre dominance picture of confinement, we look at Wilson loop distributions in pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory. A strong coupling approximation for the distribution is developed to use for comparisons. We perform a…
We report two probes of centre vortices in pure SU(2). First, we attempt to generate plaquette-size Z(2) vortices in a quasi-random way to compare the structure with those of projected centre vortices from the full theory; our prescription…
In the decomposition of gauge-theory amplitudes into kinematic and color factors, the color factors (at a given loop order $L$) span a proper subspace of the extended trace space (which consists of single and multiple traces of generators…
We consider large Wilson loops with quarks in higher representations in SU(N) Yang-Mills theories. We consider representations with common N-ality and check whether the expectation value of the Wilson loop depends on the specific…
We exhibit the appropriate variables allowing the plus-minus (Z(2)) `reduction' of the Wilson loop operator which provides a direct measure of the thin, thick and `mixed' Z(2) topological, gauge-invariant vortices in SU(2) LGT. Simulations…
The thick center vortex model with the idea of using domain structures is used to calculate the potentials between two G(2) heavy sources in the fundamental, the adjoint and the 27 dimensional representations. The potentials are screened at…
We argue that the approximate ``Casimir scaling'' of the string tensions of higher-representation Wilson loops is an effect due to the finite thickness of center vortex configurations. It is shown, in the context of a simple model of the…
Lattice simulations are presented showing the expectation of the fluctuation of the Wilson loop solely by elements of the center to fully reproduce the SU(3) heavy quark potential. The results are stable under smoothing, and point to thick…
