We investigate the Maximally Abelian (MA) Projection for a single $SU(2)$ instanton in continuum gauge theory. We find that there is a class of solutions to the differential MA gauge condition with circular monopole loops of radius $R$ centered on the instanton of width $rho$. However, the MA gauge fixing functional $G$ decreases monotonically as $R/rho rightarrow 0$. Its global minimum is the instanton in the singular gauge. We point out that interactions with nearby anti-instantons are likely to excite these monopole loops.

The confinement scenario in Maximally Abelian gauge (MAG) is based on the concepts of Abelian dominance and of dual superconductivity. Recently, several groups pointed out the possible existence in MAG of ghost and gluon condensates with mass dimension 2, which in turn should influence the infrared behavior of ghost and gluon propagators. We present preliminary results for the first lattice numerical study of the ghost propagator and of ghost condensation for pure SU(2) theory in the MAG.
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 monopoles and the modified nonabelian field with monopoles removed. We then calculate respective static potentialis and show that the potential due to the modified nonabelian field is nonconfining while, as is well known, the Abelian field produces linear potential. We further find that the sum of these potentials approximates the nonabelian static potential with good precision at all distances considered. We conclude that at large distances the monopole field potential describes the classical energy of the hadronic string while the static potential due to the modified nonabelian field describes the string fluctuations energy.
We perform the Monte Carlo study of the SU(3) non-Abelian Higgs model. We discuss phase structure and non-Abelian vortices by gauge invariant operators. External magnetic fields induce non-Abelian vortices in the color-flavor locked phase. The spatial distribution of non-Abelian vortices suggests the repulsive vortex-vortex interaction.
The effects of the Gribov copies on the gluon and ghost propagators are investigated in SU(2) Euclidean Yang-Mills theory quantized in the maximal Abelian gauge. By following Gribovs original approach, extended to the maximal Abelian gauge, we are able to show that the diagonal component of the gluon propagator displays the characteristic Gribov type behavior. The off-diagonal component is found to be of the Yukawa type, with a dynamical mass originating from the dimension two gluon condensate, which is also taken into account. Furthermore, the off-diagonal ghost propagator exhibits infrared enhancement. Finally, we make a comparison with available lattice data.
We perform various lattice numerical analyses with the energy-momentum tensor (EMT) defined through the gradient flow. We explore the spatial distribution of the stress tensor in static quark-anti-quark systems and thermodynamic quantities at nonzero temperature, as well as the correlation functions of EMT. The stress tensor distribution is also studied in the Abelian-Higgs model, which is compared with the lattice result.
