Abstract

The abelian projection in SU(N) gauge theories is discussed in detail, as well as the construction of a disorder parameter to study dual superconductivity as a mechanism for color confinement. If the ideas of the large N limit are correct, a universal N-independent behavior is expected for the suitable rescaled disorder parameter as a function of lambda = g² N.
