The monopole order parameter of QCD is computed in terms of gauge invariant field strength correlators. Both quantities are partially known from numerical simulations on the lattice. A new insight results on the structure of the confining…
In this paper we improve the existing order parameter for monopole condensation in gauge theory vacuum, making it gauge-invariant from scratch and free of the spurious infrared problems which plagued the old one. Computing the new parameter…
We study the behaviour of a suitably defined disorder parameter, showing for the first time monopole condenssation in the ground state of QCD.
Lattice studies of monopole condensation in QCD are based on the construction of a disorder parameter, a creation operator of monopoles which is written in terms of the gauge fields. This procedure is expected to work for any system which…
We demonstrate that the disorder parameter $<\mu>$ to detect dual superconductivity in the confining phase of QCD is the v.e.v. of a magnetically charged, Dirac like, gauge invariant operator $\mu$. We also show that the abelian projection…
We construct a disorder parameter for dual superconductivity of the ground state of $U(1)$ gauge theory.
A disorder parameter is constructed which signals the condensation of vortices. The construction is tested by numerical simulations. Advances in the understanding of the basic properties of QCD vacuum will be reported. Three main subjects…

We report on recent progress in understanding confinement of colour in $QCD$ as dual superconductivity of the vacuum. A gauge invariant version of the creation operator of monopoles is constructed whose vacuum expectation value is the order…
A systematic approach to the description of gauge invariant charges is presented and applied to the construction of both the static colour charge configuration in QCD and the monopole solution in pure SU(2). The gauge invariant non-abelian…
We propose to resolve the controversy regarding the stability of the monopole condensation in QCD by calculating the imaginary part of the one-loop effective action perturbatively. We calculate the imaginary part perturbatively to the order…
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.
Two distinct phase transitions occur at different temperatures in QCD with adjoint fermions (aQCD): deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration. In this model, quarks do no explicitely break the center Z(3) symmetry and therefore the…
The disorder parameter of confinement-deconfinement phase transition based on the monopole action determined previously in $SU(2)$ QCD are investigated. We construct an operator which corresponds to the order parameter defined in the…
We analyze the vacuum structure with respect to magnetic monopoles of quenched QCD in the presence of static color sources. Distributions of the monopole density around static quarks and mesons are computed in both phases of QCD. We observe…
Some aspects are discussed of the mechanism of color confinement in QCD by condensation of magnetic monopoles in the vacuum.
The role of monopoles in quenched compact QED has been studied by measuring the cluster susceptibility and the order parameter $n_{max}/n_{tot}$ previously introduced by Hands and Wensley in the study of the percolation transition observed…
It is argued that the ground state of three- and four-colour QCD contains a monopole condensate, necessary for the dual Meissner effect to be the mechanism of confinement, and support its stability on the grounds that it gives the…
In this paper we produce evidence that confinement of colour is due to dual superconductivity of $QCD$ vacuum. To do that we put together results of old numerical simulations and results of more recent investigations. The starting point is…
