  "abstract": "Lattice calculations performed in Abelian gauges give strong evidence that confinement is realized as a dual Meissner effect, implying that the Yang--Mills vacuum consists of a condensate of magnetic monopoles. We show in Polyakov gauge how the Pontrjagin index of the gauge field is related to the magnetic monopole charges.",
