Abstract

It is shown that there exists a very close analogy between a lattice of vortices in a superconductor near the critical field and a condensate of color magnetic flux tubes due to the unstable mode in QCD. This analogy makes it possible to identify a dynamical Higgs field in QCD. We show that the color magnetic flux tubes are quantized in terms of the center group Z(2) in the SU(2) case. In the case of SU( N) it is possible to select a color direction of the field such that one has Z( N) quantization.
