We perform the detailed study of the tetraquark (4Q) potential $V_{\rm 4Q}$ for various QQ-$\rm \bar{Q}\bar{Q}$ systems in SU(3) lattice QCD with $\beta=6.0$ and $16^3 \times 32$ at the quenched level. For about 200 different patterns of 4Q…

The colour fields, created by a static gluon-quark-antiquark system, are computed in quenched SU(3) lattice QCD, in a $24^3\times 48$ lattice at $\beta=6.2$ and $a=0.07261(85)\,fm$. We study two geometries, one with a U shape and another…

Simulations in lattice gauge theory suggest that the formation of a flux tube between quark and antiquark leads to quark confinement. It is conjectured that the infrared behaviour of the flux tube is governed by an effective string theory…

We discuss and rederive in a general way the logarithmic growth of the mean squared width of the colour flux tube as a function of the interquark separation. Recent data on 3D $Z_2$ gauge theory, combined with high precision data on the…
Sum rules -- relating the static quark potential V(R) to the spatial distribution of the action and energy in the colour fields of flux-tubes -- are applied in three ways: 1) To extract generalised beta-functions: 2) As a consistency check…
The full spatial distribution of the color fields of two and four static quarks is measured in lattice SU(2) field theory at separations up to 1 fm at beta=2.4. The four-quark case is equivalent to a qbar q qbar q system in SU(2) and is…
I review the growing theoretical indications that at high densities color SU(3) gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken by the formation of a quark pair condensate. This leads to a rich phase structure for QCD as a function of temperature…

In Coulomb gauge there is a longitudinal color electric field associated with a static quark-antiquark pair. We have measured the spatial distribution of this field, and find that it falls off exponentially with transverse distance from a…
