Monopoles, vortices and confinement in SU(3) gauge theory
L. Del Debbio, A. Di Giacomo, B. Lucini
Abstract
We compute, in SU(3) pure gauge theory, the vacuum expectation value (vev) of the operator which creates a Z3 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.
