Center vortices are often portrayed as objects which cause confinement. I will demonstrate that this is not necessarily true, and that they play a central role in causing a photon to emerge.

30. Hamiltonian Truncation

Hamiltonian Truncation provides a non-perturbative approach to quantum field theory in which one starts from a solvable theory, constructs its Hilbert space, and restricts to a finite-dimensional subspace of states below an energy cutoff $E_\text{max}$ . Within this truncated space, the target Hamiltonian is approximated and studied. In this talk I will introduce this framework (distinguishing...
