Ground State in Gluodynamics and Quark Confinement

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

The properties of the ground state wavefunctional in gluodynamics responsible for confinement are considered. It is shown that confinement arises due to the generation of a mass gap in the averaging over the gauge group which is necessary to ensure the gauge invariance of the ground state. The string tension is calculated in assumption of a particular infrared behavior of the vacuum wavefunctional.
