Abstract
The magnetic vortices which arise in SU(2) lattice gauge theory in cen ter projection are visualized for a given time slice. We establish tha t the number of vortices piercing a given 2-dimensional sheet is a ren ormalization group invariant and therefore physical quantity. We find that roughly 2 vortices pierce an area of 1 fm(2). (C) 1998 Elsevier S cience B.V.
