Lattice calculations performed in Abelian gauges give strong evidence that confinement is realized as a dual Meissner effect, implying that the Yang-Mills vacuum consists of a condensate of magnetic monopoles. Alternative lattice…
We construct numerically new axially symmetric solutions of SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory in $(3+1)$ anti-de Sitter spacetime. Two types of finite energy, regular configurations are considered: multimonopole solutions with magnetic charge…
We present a unified treatment of classical solutions of noncommutative gauge theories. We find all solutions of the noncommutative Yang-Mills equations in 2 dimensions; and show that they are labelled by two integers -- the rank of gauge…
We point out that the effective action of hot Yang--Mills theories has semi-classical solutions, which are naturally identified with monopole world lines, ``frozen'' into the short imaginary time dimension. The solutions look like wall…

This paper describes an integrable Yang-Mills-Higgs system on (2+1)-dimensional de Sitter space-time. It is the curved-space-time analogue of the Bogomolnyi equations for monopoles on R^3. A number of solutions, of various types, are…
We present a numerical solution on a 5-dimensional spherically symmetric space time, in Einstein-Yang-Mills-Gauss-Bonnet theory using a two point boundary value routine. It turns out that the Gauss-Bonnet contribution has a profound…
An exact multimonopole solution of heterotic string theory is presented. The solution is constructed by a modification of the 't Hooft ansatz for a four-dimensional instanton. An analogous solution in Yang-Mills field theory saturates a…
Regular monopole and dyon solutions to the SU(2) Einstein Yang-Mills equations in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space are discussed. A class of monopole solutions are shown to be stable against spherically symmetric linear perturbations.
It is shown that, in the theory of interacting Yang -Mills fields and a Higgs field, there is a topological degeneracy of Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) monopoles and that there arises, in this case, a chromoelectric monopole…
The condensation of monopoles (dual superconductivity) of QCD vacuum is reviewed. Direct evidence is produced that the system, in the confined phase, is a dual superconductor.
We argue that in the infrared regime of continuum Yang-Mills theory, the possibility of a mass gap in the charged sector is closely associated with the center vortex sector. The analysis of the possible consequences of the ensembles of…
