Abstract

In this Letter, we construct a set of order parameters for non-Abelian gauge theories which probe directly the unbroken group and are free of the deficiencies caused by quantum fluctuations and gauge fixing which have plagued all previous attempts. These operators can be used to map out the phase diagram of a non-Abelian gauge theory.
