Stable spherically symmetric monopole field background in a pure QCD

We consider a stationary spherically symmetric monopole like solution with a finite energy density in a pure quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The solution can be treated as a static Wu-Yang monopole dressed in time dependent field corresponding to off-diagonal gluons. We have proved that such a stationary monopole field represents a background vacuum field of the QCD effective action which is stable against quantum gluon fluctuations. This resolves a long-standing problem of existence of a stable vacuum field in QCD and opens a new avenue towards microscopic theory of the vacuum.
