CORRELATION-FUNCTIONS BETWEEN TOPOLOGICAL OBJECTS - FIELD THEORETIC VERSUS GEOMETRIC DEFINITIONS

We analyze topological objects in pure gluonic SU(2) lattice gauge the ory and compute correlation functions between instantons and monopoles . Concerning the instantons we use geometric and field theoretic defin itions of the topological charge. On a 12(3) x 4 lattice it turns out that topological quantities have a non-trivial-local correlation. The auto-correlation functions of the topological charge depend on cooling for both definitions. We fit the correlation functions to exponential s and obtain screening masses.
