The dominance of center degrees of freedom is observed in SU(3) lattice gauge theory in maximal center gauge. The full asymptotic string tension is reproduced, after center projection, by the center elements alone. When center vortices are removed from lattice configurations, the string tension tends to zero. This provides further evidence for the role played by center vortices in the mechanism of color confinement in quantum chromodynamics, but more extensive simulations with a better gauge-fixing procedure are still needed.

  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.
