On microscopic structure of the QCD vacuum

We propose a new class of regular stationary axially symmetric solutions in a pure QCD which correspond to monopole–antimonopole pairs at macroscopic scale. The solutions represent vacuum field configurations which are locally stable against quantum gluon fluctuations in any small space–time vicinit...

description We propose a new class of regular stationary axially symmetric solutions in a pure QCD which correspond to monopole–antimonopole pairs at macroscopic scale. The solutions represent vacuum field configurations which are locally stable against quantum gluon fluctuations in any small space–time vicinity. This implies that the monopole–antimonopole pair can serve as a structural element in microscopic description of QCD vacuum formation. Keywords: Monopole, Confinement, Vacuum
