The Schrodinger wave functional for the d=3+1 SU(N) vacuum is a partition function constructed in d=4; the exponent 2S in the square of the wave functional plays the role of a d=3 Euclidean action. We start from a gauge-invariant conjecture…
Centre-stabilised $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theories on $\mathbb{R}^3 \times S^1$ are QCD-like theories that can be engineered to remain weakly-coupled at all energy scales by taking the $S^1$ circle length $L$ to be sufficiently small. In this…
