We present a variety of numerical data supporting the Center Vortex theory of confinement. A method is introduced for identifying the location of center vortices, in thermalized gauge-field configurations generated by lattice Monte Carlo.…
Some basic features of confinement are reviewed, in particular the symmetry patterns of the dual dynamics. Open problems and possible directions of progress are discussed.
A discussion is given of the confinement mechanism in terms of the Abelian projection scheme, for a general number Nc of colors. There is a difficulty in the Nc to infinity limit that requires a careful treatment, as the charges of the…
We give an elementary discussion of parton saturation and its description by the effective theory of the Color Glass Condensate. We report on progress in calculating multi-gluon correlators. The latter are necessary for many…
We review recent results from lattice on topological aspects of QCD: most of the results refer to monopoles and to instantons. We discuss in detail the evidence for condensation of monopoles in the vacuum and confinement of colour by dual…
I briefly review the numerical evidence, some old and some quite recent, in favor of the center vortex theory of confinement.
A review is presented of what we understand of colour confinement in QCD. Lattice formulation provides evidence that QCD vacuum is a dual superconductor: the chromoelectric field of a $q\bar q$ pair is constrained by dual Meissner effect…
The vortex picture of confinement is studied. The deconfinement phase transition is explained as a transition from a phase in which vortices percolate to a phase of small vortices. Lattice results are presented in support of this scenario.…

We study the relation between center vortices and instantons in lattice QCD.
In this talk I will discuss the current picture of color confinement. In particular, I will show how it can be tested microscopically. It is stressed that the color magnetic monopoles in this picture are dyons. Furthermore, the role of…
Color confinement can be understood by the dual Higgs theory, where monopole condensation leads to the exclusion of the electric flux from the QCD vacuum. We study the role of the monopole for color confinement by investigating the monopole…
Vortex solutions are studied in an SO(3) gauge theory spontaneously broken to SO(2). These vortices have a Z(2) magnetic charge. A dilute gas of Z(2) vortices is studied taking into account vortex-vortex interactions. By going to a dual…
General aspects of non-perturbative field theory are discussed.The definition of condensates is analysed.Mechanisms of color confinement are rewieved.
A discussion is made of the strategy to check dual superconductivity of the vacuum as a mechanism of colour confinement. Recent evidence from Lattice is reviewed.
Color confinement is a consequence of an unbroken non-Abelian gauge symmetry and the resulting asymptotic freedom inherent in quantum chromodynamics. A qualitative sketch of its proof is presented.
Gaining insight about ensembles of magnetic configurations, that could originate the confining string tension between quarks, constitutes a major concern in current lattice investigations. This interest also applies to a different approach,…
We observe that the linear potential used as a leading approximation for describing color confinement in the instant form of dynamics corresponds to a quadratic confining potential in the front form of dynamics. In particular, the…
The evidence is reviewed for the mechanism of colour confinement in QCD by dual superconductivity of the ground state, i.e. by condensation of monopoles.
The evidence for dual superconductivity as a mechanism for color confinement is reviewed. New developments are presented for full QCD, i.e. in the presence of dynamical quarks.
