SO(3) versus SU(2) lattice gauge theory

We consider the SO(3) lattice gauge theory at weak coupling, in the Villain action. We exhibit an analytic path in coupling space showing the equivalence of the SO(3) theory with SU(2) summed over all twist sectors. This clarifies the ``mysterious phase'' of SO(3). As order parameter, we c...
