We investigate the properties of thermal abelian magnetic monopoles in the high temperature phase of Yang--Mills theories, following a recent proposal for their identification on lattice configurations. The study is done for SU(2) pure…
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 find that Polyakov lines, computed in abelian-projected SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the confined phase, have finite expectation values for lines corresponding to two units of the abelian electric charge. This means that the…
We describe a new order parameter for the confinement-deconfinement transition in lattice SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. It is expressed in terms of magnetic monopole field correlators represented as sums over sheets of center vortices. Our…
We reconsider the properties of the $Q\bar{Q}$ flux tube within Abelian-projected SU(2) lattice gauge theory in terms of electric field and monopole current. In the maximal Abelian gauge we assess the influence of the Gribov copies on the…
We study the behaviour of the monopole at finite temperature in the (2+1)-dimensional lattice gauge theory dual to the percolation model; by exploiting the correspondences to statistical systems, we possess powerful tools to evaluate the…
Recently, it has been observed that the non-Abelian action associated with lattice monopoles and vortices is ultraviolet divergent, at least at presently available lattices. On the other hand, the total length of the monopole trajectories…
New topological objects, which we call center monopoles, naturally arise in the Maximal Center Projection of SU(3) gluodynamics. The condensate of the center monopoles is the order parameter of the theory.
The compact Abelian Higgs model is simulated on a cubic lattice where it possesses vortex lines and pointlike magnetic monopoles as topological defects. The focus of this high-precision Monte Carlo study is on the vortex network, which is…
Maximal Abelian gauge fixing and subsequent Abelian projection of SU(2) lattice gauge theory defines closed trajectories of magnetic monopoles. These trajectories can be interpreted in terms of an effective scalar field theory of the MAG…
SU(2) gluodynamics is investigated numerically and analytically in the (Indirect) Maximal Center gauge at finite temperature. The center vortices are shown to be condensed in the confinement phase and dilute in the deconfinement phase. A…
We study decomposition of $SU(2)$ gauge field into monopole and monopoleless components. After fixing the Maximal Abelian gauge in $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory we decompose the nonabelian gauge field into the Abelian field created by…
Low energy dynamics of magnetic monopoles and anti-monopoles in the U(2) gauge theory is studied in the Higgs (non-Abelian superconducting) phase. The monopoles in this superconducting phase are not spherical but are of slender ellipsoid…
We discuss the effect of the choice of an Abelian projection on the dual superconductor mechanism of confinement in SU(2) gluodynamics. Using qualitative arguments we show that the dual superconductor Lagrangian corresponding to the Abelian…
We study the relation between instantons and monopoles in the abelian gauge. First, we investigate the monopole in the multi-instanton solution in the continuum Yang-Mills theory using the Polyakov gauge. At a large instanton density, the…
We review recent developments in understanding the physics of the magnetic monopoles in unbroken non-Abelian gauge theories. Since numerical data on the monopoles are accumulated in lattice simulations, the continuum theory is understood as…
We investigate some properties of thick vortices and thick monopoles in the SU(2) lattice gauge theory by inserting operators which create these excitations. Some quantities associated with the dynamical behaviour of thick vortices and…
We study the effective monopole action obtained in the Maximal Abelian projection of quenched SU(2) lattice QCD. We determine the quadratic part of the lattice action using analytical blocking from continuum dual superconductor model to the…
Violation of non-Abelian Bianchi identity can be regarded as $N^2-1$ Abelian-like monopole currents in the continuum SU(N) QCD. Three Abelian-like monopoles, when defined in SU(2) gluodynamics on the lattice \`{a} la DeGrand-Toussaint, are…
We review briefly current interpretation of the lattice monopoles, defined within the Maximal Abelian Projection, in terms of the continuum theory. We emphasize, in particular, that the lattice data, at the presently available lattices,…
