Partially Dual Variables in SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory
Partially Dual Variables in SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory
We propose a reformulation of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in terms of new variables. These variables are appropriate for describing the theory in its infrared limit, and indicate that it admits knotlike configurations as stable solitons. As a consequence we arrive at a dual picture of the Yang-Mills theory where the …
