The System of Multi Color-flux-tubes in the Dual Ginzburg-Landau Theory

Abstract

We study the system of multi color-flux-tubes in terms of the dual Ginzburg -Landau theory. We consider two ideal cases, where the directions of all the color-flux-tubes are the same in one case and alternative in the other case for neighboring flux-tubes. We formulate the system of multi color-flux -tubes by regarding it as the system of two color-flux-tubes penetrating through a two dimensional sphere surface. We find the multi flux-tube configuration becomes uniform above some critical flux-tube number density $ρ_c = 1.3 \sim 1.7 {\rm fm}^{-2}$. On the other hand, the inhomogeneity on the color electric distribution appears when the flux-tube density is smaller than $ρ_c$. We discuss the relation between the inhomogeneity in the color-electric distribution and the flux-tube number density in the multi-flux-tube system created during the QGP formation process in the ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision.
