Monopole-vortex continuity of N=1 super Yang-Mills theory on R2×S1×S1 with 't Hooft twist

13 Mar 2025, 11:30

Description

We study the N=1 super Yang-Mills theory on R2×S1×S1 with 't Hooft twist. This setup allows us to interpolate between the monopole and center-vortex semiclassical frameworks, which have been proposed for understanding confinement. In this presentation, based on this unified perspective, we revisit the semiclassical analysis of N=1 super Yang-Mills theory and elucidate aspects not fully understood previously.
