Relations Between Monopoles, Instantons and Chiral Condensate

Abstract

We analyze the interplay of topological objects in four dimensional QCD. The distributions of color magnetic monopoles obtained in the maximum abelian gauge are computed around instantons in both pure and full QCD. We find an enhanced probability of encountering monopoles inside the core of an instanton on gauge field average. For specific gauge field configurations we visualize the situation graphically. Moreover we investigate how monopole loops and instantons are locally correlated with the chiral condensate.
