It is argued that demanding for similar characters between the coordinates of space-time and the fields would sound that non-Abelian gauge theories might be formulated most naturally based on fields depending on matrix coordinates.
In this article we report on a new proposal to treat the infrared problems of thermal QCD by taking into account explicitly the confining influence of the Gribov horizon. In order to make clear the possible value of such an approach, we…

The gluon propagator in the Landau gauge lattice QCD simulation of quenched 8^3 x 16 lattice is measured. The data suggests the confinement mechanism of the Gribov-Zwanziger theory.
We explore a contact point between two distinct approaches to the confinment problem. We show that BLG-ABJM like theories generate gauge propagators with just the complex pole structure prescribed by the Gribov scenario for confinemnt. This…

The gauge model of nonrelativistic particles on a line interacting with nonstandard gravitational fields [5] is supplemented by the addition of a (non)-Abelian gauge interaction. Solving for the gauge fields we obtain equations, in closed…

Using the hamiltonian framework, we analyze the Gribov problem for U(N) and SU(N) gauge theories on a cylinder (= (1+1) dimensional spacetime with compact space S^1). The space of gauge orbits is found to be an orbifold. We show by explicit…
A discussion is given of the confinement mechanism in terms of the Abelian projection scheme, for a general number Nc of colors. There is a difficulty in the Nc to infinity limit that requires a careful treatment, as the charges of the…
