“…The prototypical example of this [13,14,12,15,16] is the SL(2, Z) group of S-duality identifications in d = 4 N = 4 superYang-Mills. This group is generated by the theta angle 2π rotation τ → τ + 1 and by inversion of the gauge coupling τ → −1/τ .…”

“…Therefore one must study the dual (H) system in confinement phase. 5 But then, according to the standard electromagnetic duality argument, one must analyse the electric system in Higgs phase. The monopoles will appear confined by the vortices of the H system, which can be naturally interpreted as confining string of the dual systemH.…”

Non-Abelian monopoles are present in the fully quantum mechanical low-energy effective action of many solvable supersymmetric theories. They behave perfectly as pointlike particles carrying non-Abelian dual magnetic charges. They play a crucial role in confinement and in dynamical symmetry breaking in these theories. There is a natural identification of these excitations within the semiclassical approach, which involves the flavor symmetry in an essential manner. We review, in an introductory fashion, the recent development which has led to a better understanding of the nature of non-Abelian monopoles and of their role in confinement and dynamical symmetry breaking in strongly interacting theories.
