Investigation of gauge-fixed pure U(1) theory at strong coupling
Abstract
Description
We numerically investigate the phase diagram of pure U(1) gauge theory with gauge fixing at strong gauge coupling. The FM-FMD phase transition, which proved useful in defining Abelian lattice chiral gauge theory, persists also at strong gauge coupling. However, there the transition seems no to be longer continuous. At large gauge couplings we find evidences for confinement.
