We discuss a model for the relativistic bound states of 3-quark baryons based on confining quantum chromoynamics (QCD) with general Yang-Mills symmetry. The model postulates that 3-quark states are formed by consecutive 2-body collisions.…
If the color Coulomb potential is confining, then the Coulomb field energy of an isolated color charge is infinite on an infinite lattice, even if the usual UV divergence is lattice regulated. A simple criterion for Coulomb confinement is…

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…

I consider the behavior of the quark-antiquark potential, called the Cornell Potential, in a quark-gluon plasma. Since mesons are no longer bound in the quark-gluon plasma, there might be a relationship between the string tension of the…
It is shown that the solution of the quark Dyson-Schwinger equation in QCD obtained with a gluon propagator of the form $D(q) \sim q^2/[q^4+b^4]$ and a quark-gluon vertex that is free of kinematic singularities does not describe a confined…
A characteristic signature of quark confinement is the concentration of the chromoelectric field between a static quark-antiquark pair in a flux tube. However, the structure of this flux tube, and hence of the confining force, has not been…
Our research delves into the QCD phase diagram in the temperature $T$ and quark chemical potential $\mu$ plane. We use a unique confining contact interaction effective model of quark dynamics that maintains the QCD symmetry intact. By…
