Finite temperature SU(2) lattice gauge theory is investigated in a 3D cubic box with fixed boundary conditions provided by a discretized, static BPS monopole solution with varying core scale $\mu$. Using heating and cooling techniques we establish that for discrete $\mu$-values stable classical solutions either of self-dual or of pure magnetic type exist inside the box. Having switched on quantum fluctuations we compute the Polyakov line and other local operators. For different $\mu$ and at varying temperatures near the deconfinement transition we study the influence of the boundary condition on the vacuum inside the box. In contrast to the pure magnetic background field case, for the self-dual one we observe confinement even for temperatures quite far above the critical one., Comment: to appear in EPJC

Finite temperature SU(2) lattice gauge theory is investigated in a 3D cubic box with fixed boundary conditions (b.c.) provided by a discretized, static BPS monopole solution with varying core scale ${\mu}$. For discrete ${\mu}$-values we find stable classical solutions either of electro-magnetic ('dyon') or of purely magnetic type inside the box. Near the deconfinement transition we study the influence of the b.c. on the quantized fields inside the box. In contrast to the purely magnetic background field case, for the dyon case we observe confinement for temperatures above the usual critical one., Comment: LATTICE98(confine)

The phonon-like excitations of (anti)-instanton liquid ($\bar II$) due to adiabatic variations of vacuum wave functions are studied in this paper. The kinetic energy term is found and proper effective Lagrangian for such excitations is evaluated.The properties of their spectrum, while the corresponding masses are defined by $\Lambda_{QCD}$ with prevailing chromoelectric component, are investigated based on the phenomenology of QCD vacuum already developed., Comment: 7 pages

The relevance of the dipole configurations of quarks in forming nucleus structure functions is discussed. It is shown that a radiation generated by dipole configurations while moving relativistically along their axises is described by distributions which are finite and infrared stable in low transverse momentum region. It is argued that there is an exponential transition to the perturbative regime of large transverse momenta and its power is defined by the distance between the dipole charges in its rest frame $m^{-1}_\pi$., Comment: 8 pages

Field strength correlators are semi-classically evaluated in the dilute gas model of non-Abelian sources (instantons) and compared with lattice data for QCD at zero temperature. We show that one of the Euclidean invariant, tensorial structures vanishes for configurations being purely selfdual or anti-selfdual. We compute the invariant functions contributing to the correlators within the two lowest orders in an instanton density expansion. Fitting instanton size and density for quenched and full QCD, we obtain a reasonable description., Comment: 29 pages (revtex) including 3 figures, revised for publication in Phys. Rev. D

The problem of two nonrelativistic chromoelectric and chromomagnetic charges in a Higgs vacuum is considered in classical field theory. An approximation of interaction potential is constructed on the basis of a numerical solution to the equations of gluostatics. The concept of a non-Abelian Abrikosov vortex is discussed. It is shown that the results of Ginzburg-Landau theory for the tension of a string between magnetic charges can be directly extended to the non-Abelian case., Comment: 14 pages, 12 refs., 3 fig., appear in Phys. of At.
