Toward a well defined monopole creation operator

Abstract

The lattice implementation of monopole creation operator proves to have problems related to bulk transitions that can possibly affect the interpretation of its mean value as an order parameter for monopole condensation. Preliminary evidence is presented that these unexpected behaviours are in fact only due to lattice artefacts and do not spoil the physical interpretation of the monopole operator.
