Color confinement and dual superconductivity of the vacuum. III
Abstract
It is demonstrated that the condensation of magnetic charges in the confined phase of SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theories is independent of the specific Abelian projection used to define the monopoles. Hence the dual excitations which condense in the vacuum to produce confinement must have a magnetic U(1) charge in all the Abelian projections. Some physical implications of this result are discussed.
