Polyakov loop modeling for hot QCD
We review theoretical aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at finite temperature. The
most important physical variable to characterize hot QCD is the Polyakov loop, which is an …

Unifying Monopole and Center Vortex as the Semiclassical Confinement Mechanism
Y Hayashi, Y Tanizaki - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Magnetic excitations play a crucial role in understanding the color confinement of 4D Yang-
Mills theory, and we have the monopole and the center vortex as plausible candidates to …

Anomaly and global inconsistency matching: angles, nonlinear sigma model, chains, and generalizations
We discuss the SU (3)/[U (1)× U (1)] nonlinear sigma model in 1+ 1D and, more broadly, its
linearized counterparts. Such theories can be expressed as U (1)× U (1) gauge theories and …

Global inconsistency,'t Hooft anomaly, and level crossing in quantum mechanics
An't Hooft anomaly is the obstruction for gauging symmetries, and it constrains possible low-
energy behaviors of quantum field theories by excluding trivial infrared theories. The global …
