DISTRIBUTION OF INSTANTON AND MONOPOLE CLUSTERING

We study the relation between the instanton distribution and the monop ole loop length in the SU(2) gauge theory with the abelian gauge fixin g. The measure the monopole current from the multi-instanton ensemble on the 16(4) lattice using the maximally abelian gauge. When the insta nton density is dilute, there appear only small monopole loops. On the other hand, in the dense case, there appears one very long monopole l oop, which is responsible for the confinement property, in each gauge configuration. We find a clear monopole clustering in the histogram of the monopole loop length from 240 gauge configurations.
