abstract

We compute, in SU(3) pure gauge theory, the vacuum expectation value (vev) of the operator which creates a $Z_3$ vortex wrapping the lattice through periodic boundary conditions (dual Polyakov line). The technique used is the same already tested in the SU(2) case. The dual Polyakov line proves to be a good disorder parameter for confinement, and has a similar behaviour to the monopole condensate. The new features which characterise the construction of the disorder operator in SU(3) are emphasised.

  1. Direct Monte Carlo Computation of the 't~Hooft Partition Function

    hep-lat 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A direct Monte Carlo count of 't Hooft flux sectors yields the 't Hooft partition function for SU(2) Yang-Mills, confirming the ordinary confining phase and, via the Witten effect, indicating oblique confinement at theta=2pi.

  2. Analyzing the Higgs-confinement transition with non-local operators on the lattice

    hep-lat 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors simulate the Aharonov-Bohm phase of a Wilson loop around a lattice vortex and find it gives phase π in the Higgs phase but is swamped by noise in the confinement phase.

  3. Topological Data Analysis of Abelian Magnetic Monopoles in Gauge Theories

    hep-lat 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Topological data analysis observables built from magnetic monopole current networks reproduce the known deconfinement critical coupling in compact U(1) and SU(3) lattice gauge theory.
