TL;DR
This paper investigates the structure of Abrikosov vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory, revealing flux confinement and vortex properties consistent with a dual Ginzburg-Landau model.
Contribution
It provides the first detailed lattice calculation of electric flux and monopole currents in SU(2) gauge theory, linking vortex structure to dual superconductivity.
Findings
Flux is confined in a dual Abrikosov vortex.
Core size of the vortex matches flux penetration depth.
Vortex structure aligns with dual Ginzburg-Landau model.
Abstract
We calculate the electric flux and magnetic monopole current distribution in the presence of a static quark-antiquark pair for SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the maximal Abelian gauge. The current distribution confines the flux in a dual Abrikosov vortex whose core size is comparable to the flux penetration depth. The observed structure is described by a dual Ginzburg-Landau model.
