Abstract: (Elsevier)
It is known that an SU( N ) lattice gauge theory can be exactly mapped into a Z( N ) gauge theory coupled to dynamical monopoles, with couplings and monopole distributions determined by the SU (N) Z (N) dynamics. The effect of the monopoles on long-distance behavior is discussed for N = 2. Rigorous inequalities are derived that reduce the problem of confinement at large β to estimates on expectations of monopole currents. The manner in which this can lead to permanent confinement for space-time dim d ⩽ 4 is discussed.- gauge field theory: SU(2)
