New lattice approximation of gauge theories

Jerzy Kijowski, Gerd Rudolph

Open publisher page 10 citations

Abstract

A discrete approximation of the SU(2) gauge theory interacting with a matter field in the adjoint representation is proposed. Lattice variables describing the state of the field are gauge invariants of the underlying continuum theory. Topological degrees of freedom corresponding to the monopole strength are discussed.
