Condensed monopoles and quark confinement

Description

It is shown that contribution of monopole loops to the functional integral in (Q.E.D.)4 can be mapped on to scalar Q.E.D. The phase transition where the monopole loops become very long then correspond to the onset of the Higgs-Kibble mechanism. (author)
