1. Introduction Magnetic monopoles are indispensable to quark confinement from a viewpoint of the dual superconductor picture. We proposed a reformulation of Yang-Mills theory to extract the magnetic monopole from the theory with keeping gauge symmetry. K.-I. Kondo., T. Murakami and T. Shinohara, Prog. Theor. Phys. 115 201-216 (2006) K.-I. Kondo., T. Murakami and T. Shinohara, Prog. Theor. Phys. 120 1-50 (2008) Our purpose is to show that the magnetic monopole exists in Yang-Mills theory. In this talk, I show that the magnetic monopole comes out of instanton solutions based on the reformulation numerically.
2. We impose the reduction condition to reduce the enlarged gauge symmetry to , 2. Reformulation of Yang-Mills theory 1. By introducing a color vector field with a unit length, We constructed “enlarged Yang-Mills” with the enlarged gauge symmetry . enlarged Yang-Mills Reduction condition reformulated Yang-Mills original Yang-Mills equipollent
The reduction condition is given by minimizing the reduction functional under the enlarged gauge transformation: The reduction condition and a definition of gauge-invariant magnetic monopole Reduction functional The local minima are given by the differential equation which we call the reduction differential equation (RDE): In the reformulated Yang-Mills, a composite field is very important. The field strength of is parallel to : So we can define the gauge-invariant field strength and the gauge-invariant monopole current as
We use a lattice regularization for numerical calculations. A link variable is computed by 3. Numerical calculation The reduction functional on a lattice is given by where is a unit color field on each site, boundary We introduce the Lagrange multiplier. Then, the stationary condition for the reduction functional is given by After a little calculation, we obtain a lattice version of the RDE:
The monopole current on a lattice is constructed as The V-part on a lattice is given by S. Ito, S. Kato, K.-I. Kondo, T. Murakami, A. Shibata and T. Shinohara, Phys. Lett. B645, 67-74 (2007). A. Shibata, K.-I. Kondo and T. Shinohara, Phys. Lett. B691, 91 (2010).
A boundary condition We recall that the instanton configuration approaches a pure gauge at infinity: Then, we assume that behaves asymptotically So, we adopt a boundary condition as
the procedure of a numerical calculation 1. We calculate for 2. We solve under the boundary condition. 3.

The monopole current has a non-zero value on a small number of links. This table indicates that the size of the circular loop increases proportionally as r increases.
The relationship between and the magnetic-monopole loop The configuration of the color field and a circular loop of the magnetic monopole current obtained from the JNR two-instanton solution , viewed in (a) the plane which is off three poles, and (b) the plane which goes through a pole . Here the SU(2) color field is identified with a unit vector in the three-dimensional space. These figure show the color vector field is winding around the loop, and it’s direction is indeterminate on the loop.
