Parallel Session: Confinement IV

Thursday July 1st, 17.40 - 18.00, Fermi Room

The relevance of center vortices

Abstract: Center vortices are shown to be responsible for confinement and for chiral symmetry breaking. Their relevance is compared to that of Abelian monopoles. Gribov effects are considered, and cured by Laplacian center gauge.
