title

Flux Distributions in Z(2) X SO(3) Lattice Gauge Theory

collaboration

Andrei Alexandru

abstract

Z(2) and SO(3) flux distributions are measured and compared
to the SU(2) case. We use the Tomboulis formulation, equivalent
to the Wilson action, in which the links are invariant under
Z(2) transformations, and new plaquette variables carry the
Z(2) degrees of freedom. This gives new observables to explore
to gain insight into the structure of the flux tube.
