Abstract: It is shown that the action associated with center vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory is strongly correlated with extrinsic and internal curvatures of the vortex surface and that this correlation persists in the continuum limit. Thus a good approximation for the effective vortex action is the action of rigid strings, which can reproduce some of the observed geometric properties of center vortices. It is conjectured that rigidity may be induced by some fields localized on vortices, and a model-independent test of localization is performed. Monopoles detected in the Abelian projection are discussed as natural candidates for such two-dimensional fields.
