Abstract

We study the action and geometry of P-vortices, discriminating between the percolating and finite clusters. We also discuss the interrelation of the monopoles and P-vortices. To define P-vortices we use both the direct maximal center projection and indirect maximal center projection. We find, in particular, that the action density of the P-vortices in short clusters is substantially higher than in the percolating cluster. The surface of the percolating cluster appears random at short distances, with action density depending on the shape.
