Stability of the magnetic monopole condensate in three- and four-colour QCD

  • 1. Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Chiba University, Chiba, 263-8522 (Japan)

Description

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 off-diagonal gluons an effective mass sufficient to remove the unstable ground state mode
