Perfect Abelian dominance of confinement in quark-antiquark potential in SU(3) lattice QCD
In the context of the dual superconductor picture for the confinement mechanism, we study maximally Abelian (MA) projection of quark confinement in SU(3) quenched lattice QCD with 324 at β=6.4 (i.e., a≃ 0.058 fm). We investigate the static quark-antiquark potential V(r), its Abelian part VAbel(r)
Nearby in the stack
and its off-diagonal part
Voff(r)
, respectively, from the on-axis lattice data. As a remarkable fact, we find almost perfect Abelian dominance for quark confinement, i.e.,
σAbel≃σ
for the string tension, on the fine and large-volume lattice. We find also a nontrivial summation relation of
V(r)≃VAbel(r)+Voff(r)
.
