We study the topological content of the vacuum of SU(2) pure gauge theory using lattice simulations. We use a smoothing process based on the renormalization group equation which removes short distance fluctuations but preserves long…

We study the topological structure of the SU(2) vacuum at zero temperature: topological susceptibility, size, shape and distance distributions of the instantons. We use a cooling algorithm based on an improved action with scale invariant…

We study the topological content of the vacuum of SU(2) pure gauge theory using lattice simulations. We use a smoothing process based on the renormalization group equation. This removes short distance fluctuations but preserves long…

We study on the lattice the topology of SU(2) and SU(3) Yang-Mills theories at zero temperature and of QCD at temperatures around the phase transition. To smooth out dislocations and the UV noise we cool the configurations with an action…

We study the topological content of the SU(3) vacuum using a method based on RG mapping developed for SU(2) gauge theory earlier. RG mapping, in which a series of APE-smearing steps is done while tracking the observables, reduces the short…

The topological charge density and topological susceptibility are determined by multi-probing approximation using overlap fermions in quenched SU(3) gauge theory. Then we investigate the topological structure of the quenched QCD vacuum, and…

While sign-coherent 4-dimensional structures cannot dominate topological charge fluctuations in the QCD vacuum at all scales due to reflection positivity, it is possible that enhanced coherence exists over extended space-time regions of…

The large volume behaviour of the topological susceptibility in SU(3) gauge theory is investigated on the lattice to establish an upper limit on the parity violating terms.

We calculate the topological charge density of SU(N) lattice gauge fields for values of N up to N=8. Our T=0 topological susceptibility appears to approach a finite non-zero limit at N=infinity that is consistent with earlier extrapolations…

We investigate SU(2) gauge fields topology using new approach, which exploits the well known connection between SU(2) gauge theory and quaternionic projective sigma-models and allows to formulate the topological charge density entirely in…

The topological charge is studied on lattices of large physical volume and fine lattice spacing. We illustrate how a parity transformation on the SU(3) link-variables of lattice gauge configurations reverses the sign of the topological…

We investigate the {\it topography\/} of the \o3 vacuum after various degrees of under-relaxed cooling, using the na\"{\i}ve action density and geometric and field theoretical definitions of the topological charge density. The results are…

We study the spatial correlator of the topological charge density operator in pure SU(3) gauge theory and in two flavor QCD. We show that the data for distances up to about 1 fm is consistent with a vacuum consisting of individual…

We revisit old ideas that smearing or blocking an SU(N) lattice gauge field, or averaging over an ensemble of fields created in the neighbourhood of that field, can reduce the high frequency fluctuations sufficiently that the naive lattice…

Using Monte Carlo simulations with overrelaxation, we have equilibrated lattices up to $\beta=2.928$, size $60^4$, for pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory with the Wilson action. We calculate topological charges with the standard cooling method…

Through a detailed investigation of the $SU(3)$ gauge theory at finite temperature on lattices of various size we can control finite lattice cut-off effects in bulk thermodynamic quantities. We calculate the pressure and energy density of…

Recently, we have pointed out that sign-coherent 4-dimensional structures can not dominate topological charge fluctuations in QCD vacuum at all scales. Here we show that an enhanced lower-dimensional coherence is possible. In pure SU(3)…

We present the equation of state (pressure, trace anomaly, energy density and entropy density) of the SU(3) gauge theory from lattice field theory in an unprecedented precision and temperature range. We control both finite size and cut-off…

We determine the topological susceptibility in the SU(3) pure gauge theory. We perform a series of high-statistics lattice studies and take the combined continuum and infinite volume limit. We find chi_{top}r_0^4=0.0524(7)(6) which…

We present a high-precision study of the topological susceptibility in $SU(3)$ pure gauge theory in four space-time dimensions. The result is based on ensembles at seven lattice spacings and in seven physical volumes to facilitate a…
