Query: Vortices, monopoles and confinement   We construct the creation operator of a vortex using the methods developed
for monopoles. The vacuum expectation value of this operator is interpreted as
a disorder parameter describing vortex condensation and is studied numerically
on a lattice in SU(2) gauge theory. The result is that vortices behave in the
vacuum in a similar way to monopoles. The disorder parameter is different from
zero in the confined phase, and vanishes at the deconfining phase transition.
We discuss this behaviour in terms of symmetry. Correlation functions of the
vortex creation operator at zero temperature are also investigated. A
comparison is made with related results by other groups.
