We present results of the careful study of the Gribov copies problem in SU(2) lattice gauge theory for the direct maximal center projection widely used in confinement studies. Applying simulated annealing algorithm we demonstrate that this…
We perform the careful study of the Gribov copies problem in SU(2) lattice gauge theory for maximal direct and maximal indirect center projections. We find that this problem is much more severe than it was thought before. The projected…
We address the problem of the gauge fixing versus Gribov copies in lattice gauge theories. For the Landau gauge, results show that a suitable combination of evolutionary algorithms with traditional steepest descent methods identifies the…
The center vortex model of quantum chromodynamic states that vortices, closed color-magnetic flux, percolate the vacuum. Vortices are seen as the relevant excitations of the vacuum, causing confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry…
We study the dependence of the center-projected string tension on both the lattice size, and the number of gauge copies used for maximal center gauge fixing. We show that a recent finding of Bornyakov, Komarov, Polikarpov, and Veselov…
The center vortex model, capable of explaining confinement and chiral symmetry breaking, has been plagued by the lattice equivalent of Gribov copies: different maxima of the gauge functional lead to different predictions of the string…
We present results for the fundamental string tension in SU(2) lattice gauge theory after projection to maximal abelian and direct maximal center gauges. We generate 20 Gribov copies/configuration. Abelian and center projected string…
We investigate the effectiveness of using smearing as a means to generate a preconditioning transformation for gauge fields prior to fixing to Maximal Centre Gauge. This still leaves the gauge-fixed field in the original gauge orbit. As…
The SU(2) gluon propagator in Landau gauge is studied on the lattice. Our gauge fixing procedure employs simulated annealing and Z(2)-flips. It finds higher maxima of the gauge functional compared with those obtained with the standard…
We introduce a variation of direct maximal center gauge fixing: the "direct Laplacian" center gauge. The new procedure consists of first fixing to the Laplacian adjoint Landau gauge, followed by overrelaxation to the nearby Gribov copy of…
We fix $SU(2)$ lattice gauge fields to the Maximally Abelian gauge in both three and four dimensions. We extract the corresponding $U(1)$ fields and monopole current densities and calculate separately the confining string tensions arising…
We propose a modified lattice Landau gauge based on stereographically projecting the link variables on the circle S^1 -> R for compact U(1) or the 3-sphere S^3 -> R^3 for SU(2) before imposing the Landau gauge condition. This can reduce the…
We compare two Landau gauge fixing methods, aiming to find the global maximum of the gauge fixing functional. Moreover, a systematic effect of Gribov copies in the gluon and ghost propagators computed in Landau gauge is presented and…
Center vortices are studied in SU(3) gauge theory using Maximal Center Gauge (MCG) fixing. Stout link smearing and over-improved stout link smearing are used to construct a preconditioning gauge field transformation, applied to the original…
We continue our study of the Gribov copies effrcts in the Maximal Abelian gauge in lattice $SU(3)$ gluodynamics. Our computations were completed for four values of the lattice spacing with physical lattice size $L \approx 2$ fm. It is…
We perform a study of the effects from maximal abelian gauge Gribov copies in the context of the dual superconductor scenario of confinement, on the basis of a novel approach for estimation of systematic uncertainties from incomplete gauge…
We consider the gluon propagator $D(p^2)$ at various lattice sizes and spacings in the case of pure SU(3) Yang-Mills gauge theories using the Landau gauge fixing. We discuss a class of fits in the infrared region in order to (in)validate…
We study effects of Gribov copies in the Maximal Abelian gauge in $SU(3)$ lattice gluodynamics. We confirm earlier results that with effective gauge fixing algorithm one finds Gribov copies of the maximal Abelian gauge which produce about…
We present several new results which pertain to the successes of center projection in maximal center gauge (MCG). In particular, we show why any center vortex, inserted "by hand" into a thermalized lattice configuration, will be among the…
We introduce a variation of direct maximal center gauge fixing: the ``direct Laplacian'' center gauge. The new procedure overcomes certain shortcomings of maximal center gauge, associated with Gribov copies, that were pointed out by…
