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 perform the careful study of the gauge copies problem for the direct center projection in SU(2) lattice gauge theory. Our results indicate that this gauge is not appropriate for the investigation of the center vortices. We also show that…
In SU(2) lattice gauge theory in maximal center gauge, we investigate the dependence of center-projected Creutz ratios and the vortex density on lattice size and the number of gauge copies. The dependence on the number of copies is rather…
We construct a smooth gauge for the adjoint field which is free of ambiguities on the lattice. In this Laplacian Center Gauge, center vortices and monopoles appear together as local gauge defects. A numerical study of center vortices in…
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…
We review arguments for center dominance in center gauges where vortex locations are correctly identified. We introduce an appealing interpretation of the maximal center gauge, discuss problems with Gribov copies, and a cure to the problems…
Effective action of center vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory is investigated by studying the correlation between the action density on their worldsheets and their geometric properties. It turns out that center vortices are rigid,…
We consider the SU(2) lattice gauge model. We propose a new gauge invariant definition of center projection, which we call the Simple Center Projection. We demonstrate the center dominance, i.e., the coincidence of the projected potential…
We consider projections of SU(2) lattice link variables onto Z(2) center and U(1) subgroups, with and without gauge-fixing. It is shown that in the absence of gauge-fixing, and up to an additive constant, the static quark potential…
We present numerical evidence that supports the theory of quark confinement based on center vortex condensation. We introduce a special gauge ("maximal center gauge") and center projection, suitable for identification of center vortices.…
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…
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…
It is shown that the action associated with center vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory is strongly correlated with extrinsic and internal curvatures of the vortex surface and that this correlation persists in the continuum limit. Thus a…
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…
Resorting to the the Laplace center gauge (LCG) and to the Maximal-center gauge (MCG), respectively, confining vortices are defined by center projection in either case. Vortex properties are investigated in the continuum limit of SU(2)…
We investigate the structure of center vortices in maximal center gauge of SU(2) lattice gauge theory at zero and finite temperature. In center projection the vortices (called P-vortices) form connected two dimensional surfaces on the dual…
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 action and geometry of P-vortices, discriminating between the percolating and finite clusters. We also discuss the interrelation of the monopoles and P-vortices. To define P-vortices we use both the direct maximal center…
We show that P-Vortices in the confinement phase of SU(2) lattice gauge theory form one large percolating (infrared) cluster and a number of small (ultraviolet) clusters. We discuss the interrelation of clusters of monopoles in the maximal…
