TL;DR
This paper examines how vortex fluctuations contribute to the linear potential in gauge theories, critically reanalyzing the traditional understanding of vortex effects linked with Wilson loops.
Contribution
It provides a critical reexamination of the conventional picture of vortex-induced linear potentials in gauge theories.
Findings
Reevaluates the role of vortices in potential formation
Challenges the naive vortex picture in gauge theories
Offers new insights into vortex fluctuations and Wilson loops
Abstract
We investigate the manner in which a linear potential arises from fluctuations due to vortices linked with the Wilson loop. In particular, the customary naive picture is critically reexamined.
