# Visualization of topological objects in QCD

## TL;DR

This paper visualizes gauge field configurations in QCD to demonstrate the local correlation between instantons and monopoles, showing that monopole loops are more likely near instantons regardless of topological charge definitions.

## Contribution

It provides direct visualization evidence of the correlation between instantons and monopoles in four-dimensional pure gauge theories, a novel insight into QCD topological structures.

## Key findings

- Enhanced probability of monopole loops near instantons
- Correlation is independent of topological charge definitions
- Visualization confirms theoretical predictions

## Abstract

Recently evidence appeared that instantons and monopoles have a certain local correlation in four-dimensional pure $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$ gauge theory. We visualize several specific gauge field configurations and show directly that there is an enhanced probability for finding maximally projected abelian monopole loops in the vicinity of instantons. This feature is independent of the topological charge definition used.
