In a simulation of SU(2) gauge theory we investigate, after maximal Abelian projection, the dual Maxwell equations for colour field and monopole current distributions around a static quark-antiquark pair Q_ Q in vacuo. Within the dual superconductor picture we carry out a Ginzburg-Landau type analysis of the flux tube profile. As a result we can determine the coherence length of the GL wave function related to the monopole condensate, xi = .25(3) fm, to be compared to the penetration length, lambda = >.15(2) fm (scaled with the string tension).

We perform $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills lattice simulation of the electric field distribution in the Coulomb gauge for different values of $beta$ to further investigate the nature of the Coulomb flux tube.
It is believed that the two-dimensional massless $mathcal{N}=2$ Wess--Zumino model becomes the $mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theory (SCFT) in the infrared (IR) limit. We examine this theoretical conjecture of the Landau--Ginzburg (LG) description of the $mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT by numerical simulations on the basis of a supersymmetric-invariant momentum-cutoff regularization. We study a single supermultiplet with cubic and quartic superpotentials. From two-point correlation functions in the IR region, we measure the scaling dimension and the central charge, which are consistent with the conjectured LG description of the $A_2$ and $A_3$ minimal models, respectively. Our result supports the theoretical conjecture and, at the same time, indicates a possible computational method of correlation functions in the $mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT from the LG description.
We study the critical behaviour of the three-dimensional U(1) gauge+Higgs theory (Ginzburg-Landau model) at large scalar self-coupling lambda (``type II region) by measuring various correlation lengths as well as the Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen vortex tension. We identify different scaling regions as the transition is approached from below, and carry out detailed comparisons with the criticality of the 3d O(2) symmetric scalar theory.
The color flux tube connecting a static quark-anti-quark pair in Yang-Mills theory supports massless transverse fluctuations, which are the Goldstone bosons of spontaneously broken translation invariance. Just as in chiral perturbation theory, the dynamics of these Goldstone bosons is described by a systematic low-energy effective field theory. We use the effective theory to calculate the width of the fluctuating string at the 2-loop level, using both cylindrical and toroidal boundary conditions. At zero temperature, the string width diverges logarithmically with the quark-anti-quark distance r. On the other hand, at low but non-zero temperature T = 1/beta, for r >> beta, the string width diverges linearly.
We study the phase transition of the three-dimensional complex |psi|^4 theory by considering the geometrically defined vortex-loop network as well as the magnetic properties of the system in the vicinity of the critical point. Using high-precision Monte Carlo techniques we examine an alternative formulation of the geometrical excitations in relation to the global O(2)-symmetry breaking, and check if both of them exhibit the same critical behavior leading to the same critical exponents and therefore to a consistent description of the phase transition. Different percolation observables are taken into account and compared with each other. We find that different definitions of constructing the vortex-loop network lead to different results in the thermodynamic limit, and the percolation thresholds do not coincide with the thermodynamic phase transition point.
