Abelian monopole condensation in lattice gauge theories

Abstract: We investigate the dynamics of lattice gauge theories in an Abelian monopole background field. By means of the gauge-invariant lattice Schrodinger functional we study the Abelian monopole condensation in U(1) lattice gauge theory at zero temperature and in SU(2) and SU(3) lattice gauge theories at finite temperature.
