Direct and Indirect Methods of Vortex Identification in Continuum limit

Abstract

Inspired by direct and indirect maximal center gauge methods which identify vortices in lattice calculations, and by using the connection formalism, we show that under some appropriate gauge transformations, vortices and chains appear in the continuum limit of QCD vacuum.
