Within the picture of quark confinement as due to a \textit{color event horizon}, and of hadronization as an instance of the Unruh radiation for the strong force, we show here that QCD entropy, evaluated by lattice simulations in the region…
In this work we investigate $q{\bar q}$ spectra and wavefunctions of light front transverse lattice Hamiltonians that result from different methods of formulating fermions on the transverse lattice. We adopt the one link approximation for…
A potential between mesons is extracted from 4-point functions within lattice gauge theory taking 2+1 dimensional QED as an example. This theory possesses confinement and dynamical fermions. The resulting meson-meson potential has a…
A mechanism to modify the energy band structure is proposed by considering a chain of periodic scatterers forming a linear lattice around which an external cylindrical trapping potential is applied along the chain axis. When this trapping…
We perform the first study about the heavy-heavy-light quark potential in lattice QCD and a potential model. We find that the inter-two-quark confining force is reduced by valence quark motional effects compared to the string tension.
A natural calculus for describing the bound-state structure of relativistic composite systems in quantum field theory is the light-front Fock expansion which encodes the properties of a hadrons in terms of a set of frame-independent…
A review is presented of what we understand of colour confinement in QCD. Lattice formulation provides evidence that QCD vacuum is a dual superconductor: the chromoelectric field of a $q\bar q$ pair is constrained by dual Meissner effect…
Generalizing a covariant framework previously developed, it is shown that confinement insures that meson $\to q+\bar{q}$ decay amplitudes vanish when both quarks are on-shell. Regularization of singularities in a covariant linear potential…
One of the most important nonperturbative methods for solving QCD is quantization at fixed light-front time, \tau = t+z/c -- Dirac's "Front Form". The eigenvalues of the light-front QCD Hamiltonian predict the hadron spectrum and the…
In this report we explore the remarkable connections between light-front dynamics, its holographic mapping to gravity in a higher-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, and conformal quantum mechanics. This approach provides new insights…
We present a QCD bound-state calculation based on a renormalization group-improved light-front Hamiltonian formalism. The QCD Hamiltonian is determined to second order in the coupling, and it includes two-body confining interactions. We…
Ideas and recent results for light-front Hamiltonian quantisation of lattice gauge theories.
The guiding lines of lattice investigations on colour confinement are reviewed, together with recent results.
We propose a novel quasiparticle interpretation of the equation of state of deconfined QCD at finite temperature. Using appropriate thermal masses, we introduce a phenomenological parametrization of the onset of confinement in the vicinity…
A constituent parton picture of hadrons with logarithmic confinement naturally arises in weak coupling light-front QCD. Confinement provides a mass gap that allows the constituent picture to emerge. The effective renormalized Hamiltonian is…
A brief and biased overview of the phenomenon of confinement in QCD is presented in three parts: (1) the definition of confinement, (2) properties of confinement, (3) ideas of confinement. The second part chiefly consists of a brief review…
Light-front Fock state wavefunctions encode the bound state properties of hadrons in terms of their quark and gluon degrees of freedom at the amplitude level. The freedom to choose the light-like quantization four-vector provides an…
The correspondence between theories in anti-de Sitter space and conformal field theories in physical space-time leads to an analytic, semiclassical model for strongly-coupled QCD. Light-front holography allows hadronic amplitudes in the AdS…
We report on evidence from lattice simulations that confinement is produced by dual superconductivity of the vacuum in full QCD as in quenched QCD. Preliminary information is obtained on the order of the deconfining phase transition.
We use the light-front machinery to study the behavior of a relativistic free particle and obtain the quantum commutation relations from the classical Poisson brackets. We argue that the usual projection onto the light-front coordinates for…
