Description

We discuss the confinement mechanism based on nonAbelian variety of dual superconductivity. Important hints come from physics of strongly-coupled infrared-fixed-point theories in N=2 supersymmetric QCD, which turn into confining vacua under a small relevant perturbation. The quest for the semiclassical origin of these nonAbelian monopoles, ubiquitous as the infrared degrees of freedom of supersymmetric gauge theories, motivates us to study the quantum dynamics of 2D CP(N-1) model defined on a finite-width world-strip. Latest results on these problems are presented.
