First, the nature of the monopole singularities in the abelian projection approach is analysed. Their apparent gauge dependence is shown to have a natural interpretation in terms of 't~Hooft-Polyakov-like monopoles in euclidean SU(2) gauge theory. Next, the results and predictions of a realization of confinement through condensation of such monopoles are summarized and compared with numerical data.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1995-05-03T11:12:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "confinement", "monopole condensation picture", "abelian projection approach", "apparent gauge dependence", "monopole singularities" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 394751, "adsabs": "1995hep.th....5019V" } } }
