Підтримка:This paper is a contribution to the Proceedings of the O’Raifeartaigh Symposium on Non-Perturbative and Symmetry Methods in Field Theory (June 22–24, 2006, Budapest, Hungary). This work has grown out of many intense collaborations over the past years, most notably that with Martin Lavelle. I’d also like to acknowledge many conversations with Emili Bagan, Robin Horan, Arsen Khvedelidze and Alex Kovner.
Recent progress in the construction of both electric, coloured and magnetic charges in gauge theories will be presented. The topological properties of the charged sectors will be highlighted as well as the applications of this work to confinement and infrared dynamics.
