Kevin Cahill
TL;DR
This paper investigates confinement in a noncompact SU(2) lattice simulation at strong coupling, using Wilson loops and random gauge transformations to explore gauge invariance and potential confinement.
Contribution
It introduces a noncompact simulation method with random gauge transformations to study confinement and gauge invariance in SU(2) lattice gauge theory.
Findings
Wilson loops indicate a confining potential at strong coupling
Random gauge transformations effectively impose gauge invariance
Results support the presence of confinement in the studied model
Abstract
Wilson loops have been measured at strong coupling, , on a lattice in a noncompact simulation of pure SU(2) in which random compact gauge transformations impose a kind of lattice gauge invariance. The Wilson loops suggest a confining potential.
