intro turning on the B field An external magnetic field B on the lattice is introduced through abelian parallel transports u µ ( n ) Abelian phases enter the Lagrangian by modifying the covariant derivative U µ ( n ) → U µ ( n ) u µ ( n ) External field is fixed: non-propagating fields, no kinetic term Periodic boundary conditions lead to the quantization condition 2 π b | q min | B = b ∈ Z a 2 N x N y 2 Lattice 2016 A.Rucci

intro static potential In the confining phase at low temperatures, the Q ¯ Q interaction is well described by the Cornell potential V C ( r ) = − α σ ≃ ( 440MeV ) 2 r + σ r + V 0 α ∼ 0 . 4 On the lattice: At T=0 it can be extracted from the Wilson loop � � W ( � � n , n t + 1 ) � aV ( a � n ) = − lim n t →∞ log � W ( � n , n t ) � For T>0 from Polyakov loop correlators F ( a � n , T ) ≃ − aN t log � Tr L † ( � r + � n ) Tr L ( � n ) � what about the effects of � B on the potential?

T=0 angular dependence Turning on a constant uniform external field: residual rotation symmetry around � B survives. Our ansatz: V ( r , θ ) = − α ( θ, B ) + σ ( θ, B ) r + V 0 ( θ, B ) r with θ angle between quarks direction and � B . Angular dependence in Fourier expansion: � � O ( θ, B ) = ¯ � c O O ( B ) 1 − 2 n ( B ) cos ( 2 n θ ) O = α, σ, V 0 n = 1 General features: Assumption: V ( r , θ ) is in the Cornell form ∀ θ c 2 n + 1 terms vanish ( � B inversion θ → π − θ ) 5 Lattice 2016 A.Rucci
