RG Decimations and Confinement

Abstract

We outline the steps in a derivation of the statement that the SU(2) gauge theory is in a confining phase for all values of the coupling, 0<β<0 < \beta <\infty, defined at lattice spacing a. The approach employed is to obtain both upper and lower bounds for the partition function and the `twisted' partition function in terms of approximate decimation transformations. The behavior of the exact quantities is thus constrained by that of the easily computable bounding decimations.
