  By numerical calculations we show that the abelian monopole currents are
locally correlated with the density of SU(2) lattice action. This fact is
established for the maximal abelian projection. Thus, in the maximal abelian
projection the monopoles are physical objects, they carry SU(2) action.
Calculations on the asymmetric lattice show that the correlation between
monopole currents and the density of SU(2) lattice action also exists in the
deconfinement phase of gluodynamics.
