Abstract

An effective monopole action is derived from vacuum configurations after abelian projection in the maximally abelian gauge in SU(2) QCD. Entropy dominance over energy of monopole loops is seen on the renormalized lattice with the spacing b>bc 5.2×10-3 ΛL-1 when the physical volume of the system is large enough. QCD confinement may be interpreted as the (dual) Meissner effect due to the monopole condensation.
