Centre Vortices in the Presence of Dynamical Fermions

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

The behaviour of centre vortices in the presence of dynamical fermions is studied for the first time in the context of the static quark potential and the Landau-gauge gluon propagator. These results indicate that in the presence of dynamical fermions, centre vortices are able to better encapsulate the long-range behaviour of QCD, compared to previous studies on pure Yang-Mills lattices. This work provides strong evidence that centre vortices are responsible for the long-range linear potential and the enhanced infrared gluon propagator, which are indicative of confinement in QCD.
