Monopoles, Vortices and Confinement is SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory

We present results for the heavy quark potential computed in SU(3) from magnetic monopoles and from center vortices. The monopoles are identified after fixing SU(3) lattice configurations to the maximal abelian gauge. The center vortices are identified after using an indirect center gauge fixing scheme which we describe for SU(3). Z(3) center vortices are extracted and used to compute the potential. The values of the string tensions from monopoles and vortices are compared to the full SU(3) string tension.

Monopoles and the Chiral Phase Transition in $SU(2)$ Lattice Gauge Theory

In the quenched approximation we use the abelian and monopole fields from abelian projection in SU(2) lattice gauge theory to numerically compute the value of the chiral condensate. The condensate calculated using abelian projection is observed to vanish at the same critical temperature as the full SU(2) theory predicts.
