We study confinement and chiral symmetry breaking phase transitions for QCD and supersymmetric QCD. The method is based on some justified assumption regarding the behavior of the Green function relevant for the potential between two charges…

We construct a classical vortex string solution in a Seiberg-dual theory of N=1 supersymmetric SO(N_c) QCD which flows to a confining phase. We claim that this vortex string is a QCD string, as previouly argued by M.Strassler. In SO(N_c)…

Detailed account is given of the fact that the Cornell potential predicted by Lattice QCD and its exactly solvable trigonometric extension recently reported by us can be viewed as the respective approximate and exact counterparts on a…

This letter is about confinement in QCD. At the moment we have pictures of confinement to complete our understanding of the physics of strongly interacting particles, interaction which asks for confinement. As it is said in [1] : " In…

We have investigated a closed system of equations for the quark propagator, obtained earlier within our general approach to QCD at low energies. It implies quark confinement (the quark propagator has no pole, indeed), as well as the…

The concept of QCD sum rules is extended to bound states composed of particles with finite mass such as scalar quarks or strange quarks. It turns out that mass corrections become important in this context. The number of relevant corrections…

The confining string in presence of dynamical quarks can behave in different ways, depending on the quark masses and on the number N_f N_c of charge species. For light masses and large N_f N_c the creation of quark pairs produces…

A model is introduced with a massive scalar coupling to the Yang--Mills term in four--dimensional gauge theory. It is shown that the resulting potential of colour sources consists of a short range Coulomb interaction and a long range…

We investigate the static potential in the confinement phase of the SU(2) Higgs model on the lattice, where this model is expected to have properties similar to QCD. We observe that Wilson loops are inadequate to determine the potential at…

A new color basis system and confinement mechanism for multi-quark systems are proposed according to the string-type picture of QCD. The color string configurations in the strong coupling QCD are implemented in the set of color basis…

We study the string tension as a function of temperature, fitting the SU(3) lattice QCD finite temperature free energy potentials computed by the Bielefeld group. We compare the string tension points with order parameter curves of…

QED in 1+1 dimensions possesses two rare and interesting properties - It is both exactly solvable and confining. The combination of these two properties makes it the perfect candidate for a toy model for QCD. We study this model on an…

We extend the holographic trailing string picture of a heavy quark to the case of a bulk geometry dual to a confining gauge theory. We compute the classical trailing confining string solution for a static as well as a uniformly moving…

In this review paper the QCD vacuum properties and the structure of color fields in hadrons are studied using the complete set of gauge-invariant correlators of gluon fields. Confinement in QCD is produced by the correlators of some certain…

We assume that QCD can be effectively described with string-like variables. The hadronic string is built over the chirally non-invariant QCD vacuum by means of the boundary interaction with background chiral fields associated with pions. By…

We point out certain unexpected features of the planar QCD3 confining potential, as computed from a classical worldsheet action in an AdS metric via the Maldacena conjecture. We show that there is no Luscher c/R term in the static-quark…

In two dimensions large N QCD with quarks, defined on the plane, is equivalent to a modified string theory with quarks at the ends and taken in the zero fold sector. The equivalence that was established in 1975 was expressed in the form of…

QCD string is formed at the distances larger than the confinement scale and can be described by the Polchinski--Strominger effective string theory with a nonpolynomial action, which has nevertheless a well-defined semiclassical expansion…

We investigate the description of quark confinement in terms of confining strings or flux tubes. We show that compact QED with a topological $\theta$-term, in the dyon condensation phase, is described by a massive two-form field $B_{\mu…

We consider scalar and spinor particles in the spacetime of a domain wall in the context of low energy effective string theories, such as the generalized scalar-tensor gravity theories. This class of theories allows for an arbitrary…
