Stochastic confinement and dimensional reduction. (I). Four-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory
Author
Summary, in English
By Monte Carlo calculations on a 124 lattice we investigate four-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory with respect to the conjecture that at large distances this theory reduces approximately to two-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We find good numerical evidence for this conjecture. As a by-product we also measure the SU(2) string tension and find reasonable agreement with scaling. The "adjoint string tension" is also found to have a reasonable scaling behaviour.
