Dual Superconductors and SU(2) Yang-Mills

arXiv:hep-th/0403175 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2004/08/035

Abstract

We propose that the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory can be interpreted as a two-band dual superconductor with an interband Josephson coupling. We discuss various consequences of this interpretation including electric flux quantization, confinement of vortices with fractional flux, and the possibility that a closed vortex loop exhibits exotic exchange statistics.
