Center Vortex Model for the Infrared Sector of Yang-Mills Theory
Abstract
A model for the infrared sector of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, based on magnetic vortices represented by (closed) random surfaces, is presented. The model quantitatively describes both confinement (including the finite-temperature transition to a deconfined phase) and the topological aspects of Yang-Mills theory.
