Monopoles and the Chiral Phase Transition in $SU(2)$ Lattice Gauge   Theory
  In the quenched approximation we use the abelian and monopole fields from abelian projection in SU(2) lattice gauge theory to numerically compute the value of the chiral condensate. The condensate calculated using abelian projection is observed to vanish at the same critical temperature as the full SU(2) theory predicts.
