Temperature Dependence of Extended and Fractional SU(3) Monopole Currents
Abstract
We examine in pure SU(3) the dependence of extended monopole current k and cross-species extended monopole current kcross on temperature t, monopole size L, and fractional monopole charge 1/q. We find that features of both k and kcross are sensitive to t for a range of L and q. In particular, the spatial-temporal asymmetry ratios of both k and kcross are sensitive over a range of L and q to the SU(3) deconfinement transition. The motivation for studying cross, extended, and fractional monopoles in SU(3) is given.
