Purpose: Color confinement is explained beautifully by the Abelian dual Meissner effect due to monopole condensation in pure QCD (Ref. Koma et. al. Nucl. Phys. 119,676(2003) and ref. therein) What happens in full QCD ? 1) To study the role of Abelian monopoles in full QCD and 2) to clarify the effect of dynamical light quarks on monopole dynamics are our purposes. Previously (DIK: Ref. Phys Rev D.70.074511 (2004)) we investigated these problems using configurations with m¼550 ~ 1100 [MeV] and observed some effects of dynamical quarks on monopoles. But the results are not so largely different from those in pure QCD. Here we report the results of our study using new configurations with lighter pion masses (~300[MeV]).
Simulation details We perform our simulations with two flavours of non-purtubatively improved clover Wilson fermion and Wilson gluonic actions. ・Simulation parameters are listed (New Configurations are generated using BlueGene at KEK by Kanazawa group and using BlueGene Jülich and Edinburg by QCDSF) We perform abelian (MA) gauge fixing for those configurations New configurationes!
Method After MA gauge-fixing, we extract Abelian link fields and monopoles and evaluate Abelian and monopole quantities. In SU(2)case for simplicity: U : non-Abelian link variable C : off-diagonal part u : diagonal part Abelian field strength : monopole current
Abelian and non-Abelian static potentials preliminary Abelian dominance is seen in the linear part also in full QCD.
Monopole, Abelian and photon static potentials preliminary Monopoles are responsible for the linear potential.

Monopole Cluster Monopoles form as cluster since the conservation law exists. Clusters of monopole are divided into two parts (i) Large cluster infrared (ii) Small cluster ultraviolet The separation becomes clearer when the physical volume is larger. large cluster small cluster
Monopole density monopole density is defined as , preliminary Saturation is seen for both cases!
(monopole) Gribov copies ・ Gribov copy effects are important in MA gauge-fixing. This figure shows the dependence of Gribov copies for the monopole string tension.

An effective monopole action and block spin transformation Effective monopole action can be obtained by Inverse Monte-Carlo method. Block-spin (type 2) transformation of monopoles:

Summary and conclusion • Abelian and monopole dominances are observed also for these light quark masses. • Monopoles are responsible for the linear part of the static potential. • The behavior of block spin trajectories is seen to depend on the pion mass clearly. The reason is not known yet, but interesting. • To study the chiral and the continuum limits is important. • It is also interesting to study monopole effects on the finite-temperature phase transition in full QCD with lighter quark masses. • We are planning to study the finite-temperature case.
