We present here the results of our high accuracy simulations of $qbar q$ potential in $d=4$ SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. We measure this quantity by measuring the {it Polyakov Loop Correlators} using the {it exponential variance reduction technique(multilevel)} of Luscher and Weisz. We further use numerical integration of the one-link integrals of SU(3) theory by adopting techniques proposed by de Forcrand and Roiesnell achieving significant speed-up in the process. Measurements were done at $beta = 5.7$ on $24^3x32$ as well as $32^4$ lattices for separations between the Polyakov loops in the range $r = 2-9$ in lattice units. We analyse the results in terms of the force between $qbar q$ pair as well as in terms of a {em scaled second derivative} of the potential. We show that the data is accurate enough to distinguish between different string models and that it seems to favour the expression for ground state energy of a Nambu-Goto string. We conclude by discussing future plans.

To check the dual superconductor picture for the quark-confinement mechanism, we evaluate monopole dominance as well as Abelian dominance of quark confinement for both quark-antiquark and three-quark systems in SU(3) quenched lattice QCD in the maximally Abelian (MA) gauge. First, we examine Abelian dominance for the static $Qbar Q$ system in lattice QCD with various spacing $a$ at $beta$=5.8-6.4 and various size $L^3$x$L_t$. For large physical-volume lattices with $La ge$ 2fm, we find perfect Abelian dominance of the string tension for the $Qbar Q$ systems: $sigma_{Abel} simeq sigma$. Second, we accurately measure the static 3Q potential for more than 300 different patterns of 3Q systems with 1000-2000 gauge configurations using two large physical-volume lattices: ($beta$,$L^3$x$L_t$)=(5.8,$16^3$x32) and (6.0,$20^3$x32). For all the distances, the static 3Q potential is found to be well described by the Y-Ansatz: two-body Coulomb term plus three-body Y-type linear term $sigma L_{min}$, where $L_{min}$ is the minimum flux-tube length connecting the three quarks. We find perfect Abelian dominance of the string tension also for the 3Q systems: $sigma^{Abel}_{3Q}simeq sigma_{3Q} simeq sigma$. Finally, we accurately investigate monopole dominance in SU(3) lattice QCD at $beta$=5.8 on $16^3$x32 with 2,000 gauge configurations. Abelian-projected QCD in the MA gauge has not only the color-electric current $j^mu$ but also the color-magnetic monopole current $k^mu$, which topologically appears. By the Hodge decomposition, the Abelian-projected QCD system can be divided into the monopole part ($k_mu e 0$, $j_mu=0$) and the photon part ($j_mu e 0$, $k_mu=0$). We find monopole dominance of the string tension for $Qbar Q$ and 3Q systems: $sigma_{Mo}simeq 0.92sigma$. While the photon part has almost no confining force, the monopole part almost keeps the confining force.
We present here results on the fine structure of the static qbar q potential in d=4 SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. The potential is obtained from Polyakov loop correlators having separations between 0.3 and 1.2 fermi. Measurements were carried out on lattices of spatial extents of about 4 and 5.4 fermi. The temporal extent was 5.4 fermi in both cases. The results are analyzed in terms of the force between a qbar q pair as well as in terms of a scaled second derivative of the potential. The data is accurate enough to distinguish between different effective string models and it seems to favour the expression for ground state energy of a Nambu-Goto string.
We obtain an almost perfect monopole action numerically after abelian projection in pure SU(3) lattice QCD. Performing block-spin transformations on the dual lattice, the action fixed depends only on a physical scale b. Monopole condensation occurs for large b region. The numerical results show that two-point monopole interactions are dominant for large b. We next perform the block-spin transformation analytically in a simplified case of two-point monopole interactions with a Wilson loop on the fine lattice. The perfect operator evaluating the static quark potential on the coarse b-lattice are derived. The monopole partition function can be transformed into that of the string model. The static potential and the string tension are estimated in the string model framework. The rotational invariance of the static potential is recovered, but the string tension is a little larger than the physical one.
We have continued our systematic investigations of the numerical simulations of lattice gauge theories in the dual formulation. These include: i) a more practical implementation of the quasi-local updating technique, ii) a thorough investigation of the sign problem, iii) issues related to the ergodicity of the various update algorithms, iv) a novel way of measuring conventional observables like plaquette in the dual formalism and v) investigations of thermalisation. While the dual formulation holds out a lot of promises in principle, there are still some ways to go before it can be made into an attractive alternative lattice formulation.
The classic argument by Polyakov showing that monopoles produce confinement in the Higgs phase of the Georgi-Glashow model is generalized to study the spectrum of k-strings. We find that the leading-order low-density approximation yields Casimir scaling in the weakly-coupled 3-d SU(N) Georgi-Glashow model. Corrections to the Casimir formula are considered. When k is of the order of N, the non-diluteness effect is of the same order as the leading term, indicating that non-diluteness can significantly change the Casimir-scaling behavior. The correction produced by the propagating Higgs field is also studied and found to increase, together with the non-diluteness effect, the Casimir-scaling ratio. Furthermore, a correction due to closed k-strings is also computed and is shown to yield the same k-dependence as the one due to non-diluteness, but with the opposite sign and a nontrivial N-dependence. Finally, we consider the possible implications of our analysis for the SU(N) analogue of compact QED in four dimensions.
