Laplacian Abelian Projection
A.J. van der Sijs (University of Zaragoza, Spain)🇪🇸
Abstract
A new partial gauge fixing condition for the abelian projection is introduced. It is based on the lowest-lying eigenvector of a covariant Laplacian operator. This gauge is smooth and free of lattice Gribov copies. These properties are important for an unambiguous computation of the abelian projected gauge field configuration.
