Finite temperature Euclidean SU(2) lattice gauge fields generated in the confinement phase close to the deconfinement phase transition are subjected to cooling. The aim is to identify long-living, almost-classical local excitations which carry (generically non-integer) topological charge. Two kinds of spatial boundary conditions (fixed holonomy and standard periodic boundary conditions) are applied. For the lowest-action almost-classical configurations we find that their relative probability semi-quantitatively agrees for both types of boundary conditions. We find calorons with unit topological charge as well as (anti-)selfdual lumps (BPS-monopoles or dyons) combined in pairs of non-integer (equal or opposite sign) topological charge. For calorons and separated pairs of equal-sign dyons obtained by cooling we have found that (i) the gluon field is well-described by Kraan-van Baal solutions of the Euclidean Yang-Mills field equations and (ii) the lowest Wilson-fermion modes are well-described by analytic solutions of the corresponding Dirac equation. For metastable configurations found at higher action, the multi-center structure can be interpreted in terms of dyons and antidyons, using the gluonic and fermionic indicators as in the dyon-pair case. Additionally, the Abelian monopole structure and field strength correlators between the centers are useful to analyse the configurations in terms of dyonic constituents. We argue that a semi-classical approximation of the non-zero temperature path integral should be built on superpositions of solutions with non-trivial holonomy.

Using a standard cooling method for SU(3) lattice gauge fields constant Abelian magnetic field configurations are extracted after dyon-antidyon constituents forming metastable Q=0 configurations have annihilated. These so-called Dirac sheets, standar d and non-standard ones, corresponding to the two U(1) subgroups of the SU(3) group, have been found to be stable if emerging from the confined phase, close to the deconfinement phase transition, with sufficiently nontrivial Polyakov loop values. On a finite lattice we find a nice agreement of the numerical observations with the analytic predictions concerning the stability of Dirac sheets depending on the value of the Polyakov loop.
We present Monte Carlo results for the thermodynamics of pure SU(N) gauge theories with $N=2,...,6$ in 2+1 dimensions. We focus on the confined phase region $T<T_c$ and study thermodynamics variables such as the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, p ressure, energy and entropy density using the integral method. We also investigate scaling properties with $N$ of the different observables. We compare our results with a gas of free glueballs and the bosonic string predictions for the Hagedorn spectrum.
Lattice gauge theory is an essential tool for strongly interacting non-Abelian fields, such as those in quantum chromodynamics where lattice results have been of central importance for several decades. Recent studies suggest that quantum computers co uld extend the reach of lattice gauge theory in dramatic ways, but the usefulness of quantum annealing hardware for lattice gauge theory has not yet been explored. In this work, we implement SU(2) pure gauge theory on a quantum annealer for lattices comprising a few plaquettes in a row with a periodic boundary condition. These plaquettes are in two spatial dimensions and calculations use the Hamiltonian formulation where time is not discretized. Numerical results are obtained from calculations on D-Wave Advantage hardware for eigenvalues, eigenvectors, vacuum expectation values, and time evolution. The success of this initial exploration indicates that the quantum annealer might become a useful hardware platform for some aspects of lattice gauge theories.
We study decomposition of $SU(2)$ gauge field into monopole and monopoleless components. After fixing the Maximal Abelian gauge in $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory we decompose the nonabelian gauge field into the Abelian field created by monopoles and th e modified nonabelian field with monopoles removed. We then calculate respective static potentialis and show that the potential due to the modified nonabelian field is nonconfining while, as is well known, the Abelian field produces linear potential. We further find that the sum of these potentials approximates the nonabelian static potential with good precision at all distances considered. We conclude that at large distances the monopole field potential describes the classical energy of the hadronic string while the static potential due to the modified nonabelian field describes the string fluctuations energy.

An algorithm is proposed for the simulation of pure SU(N) lattice gauge theories based on Genetic Algorithms(GAs). We apply GAs to SU(2) pure gauge theory on a 2 dimensional lattice and show the results, the action per plaquette and Wilson loops, are consistent with those by Metropolis method(MP)s and Heatbath method(HB)s. Thermalization speed of GAs is especially faster than the simple MPs.
