We discuss the implementation of the ``direct'' maximal center gauge (a gauge which maximizes the lattice average of the squared-modulus of the trace of link variables), and its use in identifying Z(2) center vortices in Yang-Mills vacuum configurations generated by lattice Monte Carlo. We find that center vortices identified in the vacuum state account for the full asymptotic string tension. Scaling of vortex densities with lattice coupling, change in vortex size with cooling, and sensitivity to Gribov copies is discussed. Preliminary evidence is presented, on small lattices, for center dominance in SU(3) lattice gauge theory.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

  1. Center vortices in the novel phase of staggered fermions

    hep-lat 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Center vortices extracted from SU(3) lattice configurations capture the broken single-site shift symmetry of the staggered-fermion artifact phase, with only plaquettes spanning the broken dimension affected.
