Toward the derivation of an effective theory for Polyakov loops in lattice QCD, we examine Polyakov loop correlation functions using the multi-level algorithm which was recently developed by Luscher and Weisz.
Heavy quark effective theory can be used to calculate the values of the semileptonic B^(*) -> D^(*) decays in the limit that the heavy quark masses are infinite. We calculate the lowest order chiral corrections, which are of O(1/M^2), from the breaking of heavy quark symmetry at the zero recoil point in quenched chiral perturbation theory. These results will aid in the extrapolation of quenched lattice calculations from the light quark masses used on the lattice down to the physical ones.

U(1) gauge fields are decomposed into a monopole and photon part across the phase transition from the confinement to the Coulomb phase. We analyze the leading Lyapunov exponents of such gauge field configurations on the lattice which are initialized by quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We observe that the monopole field carries the same Lyapunov exponent as the original U(1) field. Evidence is found that monopole fields stay chaotic in the continuum whereas the photon fields are regular. First results are presented for the full spectrum of Lyapunov exponents of the U(1) gauge system.

We perform a lattice analysis of the Faddeev-Niemi effective action conjectured to describe the low-energy sector of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. To this end we generate an ensemble of unit vector fields ("color spins") n from the Wilson action. The ensemble does not show long-range order but exhibits a mass gap of the order of 1 GeV. From the distribution of color spins we reconstruct approximate effective actions by means of exact lattice Schwinger-Dyson and Ward identities ("inverse Monte Carlo"). We show that the generated ensemble cannot be recovered from a Faddeev-Niemi action, modified in a minimal way by adding an explicit symmetry-breaking term to avoid the appearance of Goldstone modes.
