Abstract
By numerical calculations we show that the Abelian monopole currents are locally correlated with the density of the lattice action. This fact is established for the maximal Abelian projection. Thus, in the maximal Abelian projection, the monopoles are physical objects; they carry the action. Calculations on the asymmetric lattice show that the correlation between monopole currents and the density of the lattice action also exists in the deconfinement phase of gluodynamics.
