Abstract

The spacial distribution of fields and currents in confining theories can give direct evidence of dual superconductivity. We would like to discuss the techniques for finding these properties and calculating the superconductivity parameters in lattice simulations. We have seen dual Abrikosov vortices directly in pure U(1) and SU(2) and others have also seen them in SU(3). In the non-Abelian cases the system appears to be near the borderline between type I and II. We also discuss the response of the supercurrents to external fields.
