Abelian projection and studies of gauge-variant quantities in lattice QCD without gauge fixing
Sergei V. Shabanov
Abstract
We suggest a new (dynamical) Abelian projection of the lattice QCD. It contains no gauge condition imposed on gauge fields so that Gribov copying is avoided. Configurations of gauge fields that turn into monopoles in the Abelian projection can be classified in a gauge invariant way. In the continuum limit, the theory respects the Lorentz invariance. A similar dynamical reduction of the gauge symmetry is proposed for studies of gauge-variant correlators (like a gluon propagator) in lattice QCD. Though the procedure is harder for numerical simulations, it is free of gauge fixing artifacts, like the Gribov horizon and copies.
