Magnetic monopoles as fine-tuned objects

Creators

Description

We review the evidence that the monopoles observed in the lattice simulations of the SU(2) gauge theories exhibit fine-tuning. Which means that at presently available lattices both the non-Abelian action associated with the monopoles and the corresponding entropy factor diverge in the ultraviolet but cancel each other to order ΛQCD. The fine tuning suggests the use of geometrical language to describe the properties of the monopole clusters. We describe first applications of this idea
