RESUMO
We discuss the relation between lattice phenomenology of confining fields in the vacuum state of Yang-Mills theories (mostly SU(2) case) and continuum theories. In the continuum, understanding of the confinement is most straightforward in the dual formulation which involves higher dimensions. We try to bridge these two approaches to the confinement, let it be on a rudimentary level. We review lattice data on low-dimensional vacuum defects, like monopoles, center vortices. There is certain resemblance to dual strings, domain walls considered in the continuum version of Yang-Mills theories.
