β¦ Synopsis
Vortex solutions are studied in an SO(3) gauge theory spontaneously broken to SO(2). These vortices have a Z(2) magnetic charge. A dilute gas of Z(2) vortices is studied taking into account vortex-vortex interactions. By going to a dual representation we show that odd charges are confined with a string tension which decreases exponentially with the inverse coupling.

The process of interaction between two vortical ows in a gas of hard spheres is approximately described by the bimodal distribution of a special form. Both the ows rotate about the axes which can y with arbitrary linear velocities. Some su cient conditions for the inΓΏnitesimality of the uniform-inte
