Field Correlators in Abelian-Projected Theories and Stochastic Vacuum Model

Abstract

The bilocal electric field strength correlators in Abelian-projected SU(2)- and SU(3)-theories are derived with accounting for the contributions to these quantities brought about by the virtual vortex loops, built out of the dual Nielsen-Olesen strings. Owing to the screening of magnetic charge of the dual vector bosons in the gas of such loops, these bosons become heavier, which leads to the respective change of the correlation length of the vacuum in the models under study. Besides that, it turns out that such a screening leads also to the appearance of the long-range contribution to one of the two coefficient functions, which parametrize the bilocal correlator within the Stochastic Vacuum Model. Finally, the modifications of the propagators of the dual vector bosons, inspired by the correlation effects in the gas of vortex loops, are also discussed.
