It has been conjectured that the Abelian projection of QCD is responsible for the confinement of color. Using a gauge independent definition of the Abelian projection which does {\it not} employ any gauge fixing, we provide a strong evidence for the Abelian dominance in Wilson loop integral. In specific we prove that the gauge potential which contributes to the Wilson loop integral is precisely the one restricted by the Abelian projection.
We derive a generalized Skyrme-Faddeev action as the effective action of QCD in the low energy limit. Our result demonstrates the existence of a mass gap in QCD which triggers the confinement of color.
We study the possibility that the dilaton plays the role of the dark matter of the universe. We find that the condition for the dilaton to be the dark matter of the universe strongly restricts its mass to be around 0.5 keV or 270 MeV. For the other mass ranges, the dilaton either undercloses or overcloses the universe. The 0.5 keV dilaton has the free-streaming distance of about 1.4 Mpc and becomes an excellent candidate of a warm dark matter, while the 270 MeV one has the free-streaming distance of about 7.4 pc and becomes a cold dark matter. We discuss the possible ways to detect the dilaton experimentally.

We present finite energy analytic monopole and dyon solutions whose size is fixed by the electroweak scale. The new solutions are obtained by regularizing the recent Cho-Maison solutions of the Weinberg-Salam model. Our result shows that genuine electroweak monopole and dyon could exist whose mass scale is much smaller than the grand unification scale.
The Kaluza-Klein formalism of the Einstein's theory, based on the (2,2)-fibration of a generic 4-dimensional spacetime, describes general relativity as a Yang-Mills gauge theory on the 2-dimensional base manifold, where the local gauge symmetry is the group of the diffeomorphisms of the 2-dimensional fibre manifold. As a way of illustrating how to use this formalism in finding exact solutions, we apply this formalism to the spherically symmetric case, and obtain the Schwarzschild solution by solving the field equations.

We present a new type of spherically symmetric monopole and dyon solutions with the magnetic charge $ 4π/e$ in the standard Weinberg-Salam model. The monopole (and dyon) could be interpreted as a non-trivial hybrid between the abelian Dirac monopole and non-abelian 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole (with an electric charge). We discuss the possible physical implications of the electroweak dyon.
