Description
We describe two recent attempts to simulate dimeron and dyon ensembles. For zero temperature following old confinement ideas put forward by Callan, Dashen and Gross (anti-) dimeron configurations are Monte-Carlo sampled according to their classical action. We show that with an increasing bare coupling the dimerons become more and more dissociating pointing to a meron picture of the QCD vacuum state. Confinement is then viewed numerically in terms of an area law of Wilson loops or an approximate linearly rising potential. For non-zero temperature guided by caloron solutions with non-trivial holonomy as invented by Kraan and van Baal a couple of years ago we discuss ensembles of (anti-) dyon caloron constituents. Approximating them as Abelian monopoles one analytically can compute the string tension as a function of the dyon gas density and the temperature. On the other hand simulating the monopole gas numerically one easily sees that the long-range tails of their respective fields cannot be simply treated within a finite volume. We describe that a solution of the severe finite-size problem can be found with Ewald's summation technique well-known in plasma physics. The numerical result obtained in the infinite volume limit nicely agrees with the analytical result.
