Abstract

A scaling analysis is made of the order parameter describing monopole condensation at the deconfining transition of Nf=2 QCD around the chiral point. In accordance with scaling properties of the specific heat, studied in a previous paper, scaling is consistent with a first order transition. The status of dual superconductivity of the vacuum as a mechanism of color confinement is reviewed.
