We investigated the gauge (in)dependence of the confinement mechanism due to monopole condensation in SU(2) lattice QCD by various abelian projections. We found (1) the string tension can be reproduced by monopoles alone also in Polyakov gauge and (2) the behaviors of the Polyakov loop at the critical temperature seem to be explained by the uniformity breaking of the monopole currents in every gauge., 4pages (7 figures), Latex, Contribution to Lattice 95 more...

Monte-Carlo simulations of abelian projection in $T \neq 0$ pure lattice QCD show that 1)\ Polyakov loops written in terms of abelian link fields alone play a role of an order parameter of deconfinement transition 2)\ the abelian Polyakov loops are decomposed into contributions from Dirac strings of monopoles and from photons 3)\ vanishing of the abelian Polyakov loops in the confinement phase is due to the Dirac strings alone and the photons give a finite contribution in both phases. Moreover, these results appear to hold good in unitary gauges. This suggests that monopole condensation as the color confinement mechanism is gauge independent., Comment: 3 pages (4 figures).

We study quenched hadron spectra with Wilson fermion in abelian gauge fields extracted by maximal abelian projection and in fields induced by monopoles on $16^3 \times 32 $ and $ 12^3 \times 24$ lattices. Pion mass squared and quark mass defined through the axial Ward identity satisfy the PCAC relation. Gross features of the light hadron spectra are almost similar to those in SU(3) gauge fields if normalization is made by the square root of the string tension. It is also shown that no sizable dynamical mass generation is found in the present range of $\kappa$ when the monopole degree of freedom is removed from the abelian fields or from the SU(3) gauge fields., Comment: 23 pages, latex, 10 figures more...

We report the preliminary results of the studies of hadron spectrum under the background of abelian and monopole gauge fields in quenched Wilson SU(3) QCD. Abelian gauge fields alone reproduce the same chiral limit as in the full case. Critical hopping parameter $\kappa_c$ and $m_{\rho}$ are the same in both cases. We need more time to get a definite result in the case of monopole background. The photon contribution do not produce any mass gap in the chiral limit ($\kappa=\kappa_c\sim 0.17$). The behavior is similar to those in the free photon case for $\kappa_c= 0.125$., Comment: 4pages, uuencoded PostScript, To appear in the Proceeding of LATTICE '95, Melbourne, Australia, 11-15 July, 1995 more...

Moreover, these results appear to hold good with any abelian projection as seen from the studies in the maximally abelian gauge and in various unitary gauges., Comment: 11 pages + 9 figures more...
