摘要
We show that contribution of monopole loops to the functional integral in four-dimensional lattice (quantum electrodynamics) can be mapped on to scalar quantum electro-dynamics. The phase transition where the monopole loops become very long then corresponds to the onset of the Higgs-Kibble mechanism and confinement due to the dual Meissner effect. © 1978 The American Physical Society.
