Abstract

We study numerically the length distributions of the infrared monopole clusters in pure SU(2) QCD. These distributions are Gaussian for all studied blocking steps of monopoles, lattice volumes and lattice coupling constant. We also investigate the monopole action for the infrared monopole clusters. The knowledge of both the length distribution and the monopole action allows us to determine the effective entropy of the monopole currents. The entropy is a descending function of blocking scale, indicating that the effective degrees of freedom of the extended monopoles are getting smaller as the blocking scale increases.
