  The local gauge symmetry remaining even after imposing a gauge fixing
condition is called the residual local gauge symmetry, which is spontaneously
broken in the perturbative vacuum, and is expected to be restored in the true
confining vacuum. Indeed, the criterion for restoring a special choice of the
residual gauge symmetry was shown to be equivalent to the Kugo-Ojima color
confinement criterion in the Lorenz gauge. In the previous paper, we
demonstrated that such restoration can occur even in the Maximal Abelian gauge
due to topological defects. However, it was later found that the topological
defects introduced in the previous paper give an infinite Euclidean action and
hence do not contribute to the path integral. In this paper, therefore, we
reexamine modified topological defects giving a finite Euclidean action to
contribute to the path integral. We show the restoration of the residual local
gauge symmetry in the Maximal Abelian gauge due to such a class of topological
defects.
