QCD and strongly coupled gauge theories: challenges and perspectives

N Brambilla, S Eidelman, P Foka, S Gardner… - The European Physical …, 2014 - Springer
We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

Center vortices and chiral symmetry breaking in lattice gauge theory

R Höllwieser, T Schweigler, M Faber, UM Heller - Physical Review D …, 2013 - APS
We investigate the chiral properties of near-zero modes for thick classical center vortices in
SU (2) lattice gauge theory as examples of the phenomena which may arise in a vortex …

Approaching gauge dynamics with smeared vortices

R Höllwieser, M Engelhardt - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We present a method to smear (center projected) Z (2) vortices in lattice gauge
configurations such as to embed vortex physics into a full SU (2) gauge configuration …

Influence of center vortex interactions on the static potentials

SM Hosseini Nejad - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We analyze the static potentials induced by vacuum domains for various representations in
SU (4) Yang-Mills theory within the framework of the domain structure model. By studying …

Confining bond rearrangement in the random center vortex model

D Altarawneh, R Höllwieser, M Engelhardt - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We present static meson-meson and baryon-antibaryon potentials in Z (2) and Z (3) random
center vortex models for the infrared sector of Yang-Mills theory, ie, hypercubic lattice …

gauge action of such colorful plane vortices are studied in the continuum and on the lattice …

Model of random center vortex lines in continuous -dimensional spacetime

D Altarawneh, M Engelhardt, R Höllwieser - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
A picture of confinement in QCD based on a condensate of thick vortices with fluxes in the
