ResumoExtending earlier work, we investigate the vacuum structure of the pure SU (3) gauge theory in the maximally abelian gauge. In this gauge the long-distance physics is carried essentially by the abelian degrees of freedom. Monopoles show up as particle-like singularities in the gauge fixing procedure. We find evidence that these monopoles condense in the confined phase of the vacuum, in accordance with the pivture of a dual superconductor, whereas they are dilute and increasingly static as the temperature increases in the deconfined phase.
