Color confinement mechanism and the type of the QCD vacuum Tsuneo Suzuki (Kanazawa Univ.) Collaborators: K.Ishiguro, Y.Mori, Y.Nakamura, T.Sekido (M.Polikarpov, M.Chernodub, V.Zakharov) 1.Color confinement mechanism Color confinement could be understood as the dual Meissner effect. (’75 ‘tHooft & Mandelstam) How to find a magnetically charged particle from QCD? Perform a partial gauge-fixing called abelian projection. QCD is reduced to U(1)2 theory with magnetic monopoles. If the monopoles condense, the dual Meissner 2. Lattice QCD study of abelian projection When we perform a partial gauge-fixing called Maximally abelian (MA) gauge (’87 Kronfeld et al.), the ‘tHooftMandelstam conjecture seems to be correct. 1.Abelian dominance, monopole dominance 2. Monopole condensation occurs. Entropy dominates over energy. 3.The dual Meissner effect is observed clearly. (M.Chernodub and M.Polikarpov, hep-th/9710205; T.Suzuki,P.T.P.Suppl.131(‘98)633; R.W. Haymaker, P.R.315, 153 (‘99), H.Shiba and T.Suzuki, P.L. B 351, 519 (‘95), Y.Koma et al, KI & PRD68 (2003) 114504 and references therein) Dual Meissner effect: Electric field flux tube Monopole current distribution Dual Meissner picture is seen very beautifully. 3. gauge-independent? Is the dual Meissner effect in the infrared region gaugeindependent? No? (1)Polyakov gauge where Polyakov loops are diagonalized. Monopoles are always static. Do not contribute to the usual abelian Wilson loop. Monopole dominance is broken.(M.Chernodub ’00) (2)Landau gauge: Configurations are so smooth. No DeGrand-Toussaint monopoles. Existence of the linear potential indicates the fluxsqueezing occurs generally in QCD. Is it understood as the dual Meissner effect? What squeezes the electric field? 4.Study of flux in Landau gauge (T.Suzuki et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 132001 (2005)) 1)Imroved Iwasaki gauge action: Nearer to the continuum limit 2) (Landau) Gauge fixing: study of electric and magnetic field flux directly 3) Comparison with MA gauge + U1 Landau Define abelian field strength MA Non-abelian Wilson loops (a source of a Q-Qbar p Electric field Magnetic field Results 1 R r Abelian electric field is squeezed also as in nonabelian one. Other components are almost zero. Quark-antiquark are located in z direction. Results 2: Electric field is squeezed by abelian magnetic displacement current Magnetic solenoidal Solenoidal current observed !!! Landau gauge perpendicular plane Landau gauge Landau gauge MA gauge MA Gauge (Bali (’98)) Comments 1.The positions of the peak of the solenoidal current distribution in Landau and in MA are almost the same. 2. The dual Meissner effect is observed also in Landau gauge, where naive DT lattice monopoles do not exist. New monopole or essentially non-static? The dual Meissner effect must be a universal 5. Type of the QCD vacuum in MA (Kanazawa + M.Chernodub, M.Polikarpov, The penetration length ( inverse of the dual V.Zakharov) photon mass) is fixed from the electric field flux. R=Distnce between Q and Qbar How to determine the coherence length (inverse of the dual Higgs mass) Study monopole around QCD string in dual Ginzburg-Landau theory: (Suzuki 1988) Behaviors of classical solutions place the static quarks at the (spatial) infinities of the z axis London limit in Real world: dominant Expected behavior of monopole density around QCD string The coherence length can be derived from this behavior !! Numerical data of the coherence length Correlation of monopole density and D=2 gluon operator Is minimized in MA Various D=2 gluon operators in MA+U(1) LA Border between the type 1 and the type 2 (Cea et al,1995, Singh et al.1993, Matsubara et al.,1994, kato et al.,1998, Bali 1998, Koma 2003) 6. The type of the QCD vacuum in Landau gauge Border between type 1 and 2 ? Landau gauge 7. Study of gauge dependence Penetration length Coherence length 8. Summary and outlook • The dual Meissner effect works good also in Landau gauge. How about in other general gauges? Expectation: It must work in general. • Magnetic displacement current plays a role of monopole currents if we see naive abelian components. • The vacuum is near the border of the type 1 and the type 2. • Existence of the dual Meissner effect suggests that something magnetic condenses in the vacuum. Gaugeinvariant monopoles are working? Extraction of monopole need not always abelian projection. Or essentially non-static? 1. Gubarev’s monopoles may be important and should be studied extensively.(Gubarev, hep-lat/0204018, GubarevZakharov hep-lat/0204017) 2. Violation of non-abelian Bianchi identity may be important?(Gubarev & Morozov, hep-lat/0503023) • D=2 gluon condensate operator important? (1)Consider A+ A in MA gauge: The effect of the off-diagonal gluons appears only in the screening of adjoint charged particles. Fundamental quark confinement is not affected. (T.Suzuki and M.Chernodub, P.L. B563 (2003) 183) (2)A3A3: non-perturbative part is given by monopoles (3) In LA gauge, both effects are included in
