Abelian projection of gluodynamics and confinement on a lattice
In lattice gluodynamics in the maximal Abelian projection, SU(2) -> U(l), the dynamics is governed by diagonal gluons. In the minimal projection, it is instead governed by off-diagonal gluons. In the maximal Abelian projection, color confinement is thus due to a condensate of U( 1) monopoles, while in the minimal Abelian projection the dynamics of the system is driven by vector Goldstone fields and topological defects constructed from
