We review the quantum instability of the Savvidy-Nielsen-Olesen (SNO) vacuum of the one-loop effective action of SU(2) QCD, and point out a critical defect in the calculation of the functional determinant of the gluon loop in the SNO…
We present a strong evidence for the magnetic confinement in QCD by demonstrating that the one loop effective action of SU(2) QCD induces a dynamical symmetry breaking thorugh the monopole condensation, which could induce the dual Meissner…
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…
We show how to generalize the previous result of the monopole condensation in SU(2) QCD to SU(3) QCD. We present the gauge independent Weyl symmetric Abelian decomposition of the SU(3) QCD which decomposes the gluons to the color neutral…
We present a simple method to calculate the one-loop effective action of QCD which reduces the calculation to that of SU(2) QCD. For the chromomagnetic background we show that the effective potential has an absolute minimum only when two…

Recent studies of confinement based on the idea of abelian monopole condensation are reviewed briefly. Emphasis is placed on the approach to get the effective monoole action using the blockspin transformation on the dual lattice. The…
We compare two competing conjectures of the color confinement in QCD, the monopole condensation and the Abelian dominance, and show that it is the monopole condensation which is responsible for the confinement. To demonstrate this we…
