Abstract

We review briefly recent results of lattice simulations on 3d domains in the vacuum state of SU(2) gluodynamics. The defects are defined as unification of all the negative links in central projection under condition that the total number of negative links is minimized. In the continuum limit, negative links correspond, generally speaking to singular fields. The data indicate that total volume of the defects scales in physical units. We consider also correlator of negative links. The correlator scales in physical units as well, within the error bars. A new observation reported here is a strong anisotropy of the correlator.
