Abstract

We study chaotic regions in the phase space of classical non-Abelian gauge theory, focusing particularly on those which determine the low-energy interactions between BPS monopoles, and comment on the relevance of the obtained results for long-standing speculations which relate classical Yang-Mills chaos to the disordered quantum vacuum and quark confinement.
