Recent progress in understanding deconfinement and chiral symmetry breaking transitions
Prof. Edward Shuryak (Stony Brook University)
While the crucial role of gauge topology was recognized from 1970’s, confinement was associated with monopoles and chiral symmetry breaking with instantons. Recognizing presence of non-zero holonomy, van Baal and others discovered splitting of the instantons into their constituents — the instanton-dyons. Several groups now work out properties of their ensembles, which generate both the …
