Blocking of lattice monopoles from the continuum in hot lattice gluodynamics

Abstract

The Abelian monopoles in lattice gluodynamics are associated with continuum monopoles blocked to the lattice. This association allows to predict the lattice monopole action and density of the (squared) monopole charges from a continuum monopole model. The method is applied to the static monopoles in high temperature gluodynamics. We show that the numerical data both for the density and the action of the lattice monopoles can be described in terms of a Coulomb gas of Abelian monopoles in the continuum.
