Abstract

We discuss the generation of dynamical scalar fields within pure Yang-Mills theories, with an eye on possible implications for the actual Higgs physics. Such scalars are routinely introduced, in particular, within the dual-superconductor model of confinement and there is plenty of lattice data on condensation of magnetic degrees of freedom in the Yang-Mills vacuum. We emphasize that the dynamical scalar fields of this type turn to be soft and avoid the problems of ultraviolet divergences. Moreover, generically their properties are close to the stringy scalars, like the thermal scalar. No immediate proposals for the Higgs particles are made.
