The Maximal Abelian Gauge in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory
Abstract
We gauge fix 600 SU(3) beta=6.0 configurations on a 164 lattice to a simple form of the maximal abelian gauge. We project the SU(3) valued links to the U(1)xU(1) subgroup, and extract U(1)xU(1) and monopole string tensions. After gauge fixing to the indirect center gauge, the U(1)xU(1) links are projected to Z(3) and a vortex string tension is measured. The vortex and magnetic current densities are measured.
