Description

We investigate the inter-quark potential in the maximally Abelian (MA) gauge in SU(3) quenched QCD on a fine lattice at beta=6.4 (a=0.058 fm). Remarkably, we find almost perfect Abelian dominance of the string tension or the quark confining force on the fine lattice [1]. Thus, the confinement phenomenon in QCD can be well described only with Abelian variables in the MA gauge. [1] N. Sakumichi and H. Suganuma, arXiv:1406.2215 [hep-lat], "Perfect Abelian dominance of quark confinement in SU(3) QCD on a fine lattice".

Summary

We find almost perfect Abelian dominance of confinement in the MA gauge in fine lattice QCD.
