Abelian color cycles: A new approach to strong coupling expansion and dual representations for non-abelian lattice gauge theory

We propose a new approach to strong coupling series and dual representations for non-abelian lattice gauge theories using the SU(2) case as an example. The Wilson gauge action is written as a sum over “abelian color cycles” (ACC) which correspond to loops in color space around plaquettes. The ACCs a...
