Abstract: (Elsevier)
Monte Carlo simulations show that the phase transition in SO(3) theories isrelated to the condensation of Z(2) monopoles, the low-temperature phase being SU(2). The Z(2) monopole current of SU(2) is undergoing a very rapid change in the weak- to strong-coupling transition region.- LATTICE FIELD THEORY
