 | | In this talk, I review the general problem of fermion species doubling, and it's relation to chiral symmetry. |
 | | This could be because one wants to calculate gauge dependent quantities such as the gluon propagator or Bethe-Salpeter amplitude, or as part of a preconditioning program to, for example, accelerate the inversion of the fermion matrix. |
 | | I present the results of a numerical experiment which shows, against naive expectations, that (i) center vortices are responsible for confinement; (ii) the Abelian monopole condensate disappears when center vortices are removed. |
