Electric magnetic duality of the confining flux tube in Abelian-projected gluodynamics
Abstract
The structure of the Abelian-projected (AP) flux tube in SU(2) gauge theory in the maximally Abelian gauge is studied by applying the Hodge decomposition to the Abelian Wilson loop. It is shown that the profile of the AP flux tube has the same structure as the classical flux tube solution in the dual Abelian Higgs model, which is composed of a Coulombic and a solenoidal electric field linked by monopole supercurrent.
