Confinement and the vortex vacuum of SU(2) lattice gauge theory
Abstract
Description
The vortex theory which emerges from SU(2) lattice gauge theory by center projection is briefly reviewed. In this vortex picture, quark confinement is due to percolating (closed) vortices which are randomly linked to the Wilson loop. The deconfinement phase transition appears as a de-percolation phase transition.
