Dual Abrikosov vortex between confined charges

Abstract

We show that the dual Abrikosov vortex between quark and antiquark in Abelian Projected SU(2) gauge theory is insensitive to truncation of all loops except the large monopole cluster noted by Hart and Teper. As the transverse distance increases, the discrepancy decreases, suggesting that the London penetration depth determined by the tail is invariant under the truncation of short loops.
