Description
Exploiting the similarity between Bloch's theorem for electrons in crystalline solids and the problem of Landau gauge-fixing in Yang-Mills theory on a "replicated" lattice allows one to obtain essentially infinite-volume results from numerical simulations performed on regular-size lattices. We review our previous study of this subject, presenting some new preliminary results. A novel interpretation of the method is also proposed, which might improve our understanding of color confinement.
