The static potentials for quark-antiquark-gluon and 3-gluon systems are computed with lattice QCD methods. For the quark-antiquark-gluon hybrid meson the static potential is obtained for different values of the angle between the quark-gluon…
We study the QCD phase diagram, in particular we study the critical points of the two main QCD phase transitions, confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. Confinement drives chiral symmetry breaking, and, due to the finite quark mass, at…
The static three-quark (3Q) potential is studied in detail using SU(3) lattice QCD with $12^3 \times 24$ at $\beta=5.7$ and $16^3 \times 32$ at $\beta=5.8$, 6.0 at the quenched level. For more than 300 different patterns of the 3Q systems,…

In the context of the dual superconductor picture for the confinement mechanism, we study maximally Abelian (MA) projection of quark confinement in SU(3) quenched lattice QCD with $32^4$ at $\beta$=6.4 (i.e., $a \simeq$ 0.058 fm). We…
We discuss how the presence of a squeezed gluon vacuum might lead to quark confinement in the framework of the global colour model of QCD. Using reduced phase space quantization of massive vector theory we construct a Lorentz invariant and…
