To understand the Abelian dominance and magnetic monopole dominance in low-energy QCD, we rewrite the non-Abelian Wilson loop into the form which is written in terms of its Abelian components or the 't Hooft-Polyakov tensor describing the…

We report on some recent analytical results on the behaviour of the gluon and ghost propagators in Euclidean SU(2) Yang-Mills theory quantized in the maximal Abelian gauge (MAG). This gauge is of particular interest for the dual…
We propose a novel type of color magnetic condensation originating from magnetic monopoles so that it provides the mass of off-diagonal gluons in the Yang-Mills theory. This dynamical mass generation enables us to explain the infrared…
We study theoretical bases of the dual Higgs theory for confinement physics in QCD in terms of monopoles and the gluon configuration in the maximally abelian (MA) gauge. Abelian dominance for the confinement force can be analytically proved…
The dual superconductivity is believed to be a promising mechanism for quark confinement. Indeed, what this picture is true has been confirmed in the maximal Abelian (MA) gauge. However, it is not yet confirmed in any other gauge and the MA…
We (try to) pedagogically explain how monopoles arise in QCD, why maximal Abelian(MA) gauge is ``special'' for monopole study, the Abelian projection in MA gauge, its resultant degrees of freedom(photons, monopoles and charged matter…
We derive the Schwinger-Dyson equations for the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in the maximal Abelian gauge and solve them in the infrared asymptotic region. We find that the infrared asymptotic solutions for the gluon and ghost propagators are…
It has been conjectured that the Abelian projection of QCD is responsible for the confinement of color. Using a gauge independent definition of the Abelian projection which does {\it not} employ any gauge fixing, we provide a strong…
We briefly review motivation and results of the approach to QCD vacuum as a medium describable in terms of statistical ensemble of almost everywhere constant Abelian (anti-)self-dual gluon fields. An overview of the hadronization formalism…
The ultraviolet asymptotic behavior of the gluon propagator is evaluated in the maximal Abelian gauge in the SU(2) gauge theory on the basis of the renormalization-group improved perturbation theory at the one-loop level. Square-root…
We derive an Abelian-Higgs-like action from SU(2) Yang-Mills theory via monopole-condensation assumption. Abelian projection as well as chromo-'electric-magnetic' duality are naturally realized by separating the small off-diagonal gluon…
We study the production and the equilibration of a non-Abelian $q\bar{q}$ plasma in an external chromoelectric field, by solving the Boltzmann equation with the non-Abelian features explicitly incorporated. We consider the gauge group…
Over the last decade a fruitful interplay has developed between analyses of strongly coupled non-abelian plasmas via the gauge/string duality and the phenomenology of the quark-gluon plasma created in heavy ion collisions. I review the…
Analytic calculations in the infrared regime of nonabelian gauge theories are hampered by the presence of Gribov copies which results in some ambiguity in the gauge-fixing procedure. This problem shares strong similarities with the issue of…
In SU(3) lattice QCD, we study diagonal and off-diagonal gluon propagators in the maximally Abelian (MA) gauge with U(1)$_3 \timesU(1)_8$ Landau gauge fixing. These propagators are studied both in the coordinate space and in the momentum…
We derive an effective Abelian gauge theory (EAGT) of a modified SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. The modification is made by explicitly introducing mass terms of the off-diagonal gluon fields into pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, in order that…
A common approach while considering confinement is to study the dominance of an Abelian subgroup of the SU(3) gauge Links. A good way to find the Abelian component of the field is through the Cho-Guan-De gauge invariant Abelian…
The non-perturbative nilpotent exact BRST symmetry of the Gribov-Zwanziger action in the Landau gauge constructed in [ arXiv:1506.06995 [hep-th]] is generalized to the case of Euclidean Yang-Mills theories quantized in the maximal Abelian…
An improved method for extracting infrared exponents from functional equations is presented. The generalizations introduced allow for an analysis of quite complicated systems such as Yang-Mills theory in the maximally Abelian gauge.…
