Confined magnetic monopoles in dense QCD

Non-Abelian strings exist in the color-flavor locked phase of dense QCD. We show that kinks appearing in the world-sheet theory on these strings, in the form of the kink-antikink bound pairs, are the magnetic monopoles—descendants of the ’t Hooft–Polyakov monopoles surviving in such a special form i...
