Abstract

We study the heavy quark potential in the SU(2) positive plaquette model using monopoles in the maximum abelian gauge, and vortices. Monopoles give a quantitative description of the string tension. Vortices approximately reproduce the entire heavy quark potential.<br />Comment: 3 pages, latex, 2 postscript figures
