String representations of the Wilson loop are constructed in the SU(N)-version of compact QED in three and four dimensions. This is done exactly in the case of the fundamental Wilson loop and in the large-N limit in the case of the adjoint…

A potential model for four interacting quarks is constructed in SU(2) from six basis states -- the three partitions into quark pairs, where the gluon field is either in its ground state or first excited state. With four independent…
We study the static three-quark (3Q) potential 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 200 patterns of the 3Q systems, we…
Adopting the gauge-invariant and path-dependent variables formalism, we compute the interaction energy for a topological field theory describing $(1+3)$D topological superconductors in presence of external fields. As a result, in the case…
Spatial string tension is computed in finite temperature gluodynamics on asymmetric lattices in a spherical model approximation. Conditions of scaling behavior are specified. Discrepancies with a standard renormalisation procedure are…
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…
For SU(3) lattice gauge theory we study properties of static quark sources represented by local Polyakov loops. We find that for temperatures both below and above T_c coherent domains exist where the phases of the local loops have similar…
