Abstract
We consider pure gluonic SU(3) lattice gauge theory and determine colo ur magnetic currents by measuring the total magnetic flux out of unit lattice cubes. To study the influence of these currents on physical qu antities we modify the Wilson action and add an extra term suppressing the currents. We present first results of numerical simulations which show that a suppression of magnetic currents strongly influences the string tension and the critical coupling for the finite temperature ph ase transition.
