One of the most fundamental questions we can ask about a given gauge theory is its phase diagram. In the standard model, we observe three fundamentally different types of behavior: QCD is in a confined phase at zero temperature, while the…

A quark model with general Yang-Mills $SU_3$ symmetry leads to fourth-order field equations and linear confining potential. The confining gauge bosons (`confions') are treated as off-mass-shell particles and their indefinite energies are…
Analytic solutions for the energy eigenvalues are obtained from a confined potentials of the form $br$ in 3 dimensions. The confinement is effected by linear term which is a very important part in Cornell potential. The analytic eigenvalues…
We review the Coulomb gauge in QCD and report some recent results. The minimal Coulomb gauge is defined and the fundamental modular region, a region without Gribov copies, is described. The Coulomb gauge action is expressed in terms of the…
The complete knowledge of a theory is encoded in its correlation functions. Thus non-perturbative effects, like confinement in QCD, is necessarily contained in these correlation functions. As a consequence, a number of confinement scenarios…
We investigate confinement from new global defect structures in three spatial dimensions. The global defects arise in models described by a single real scalar field, governed by special scalar potentials. They appear as electrically,…
We consider excitations with the quantum numbers of a hole in the one dimensional Hubbard model below half-filling. We calculate the finite-size corrections to the energy. The results are then used to determine threshold singularities in…
In the Coulomb gauge of nonabelian gauge theories there are in general, in individual graphs, 'energy-divergences' on integrating over the loop energy variable for fixed loop momentum. These divergences are avoided in the Hamiltonian,…

It is shown numerically that the Coulomb self-energy of an isolated, color non-singlet source diverges in an infinite volume. This is in accord with the Gribov Horizon scenario of confinement advocated by Gribov and Zwanziger. It is also…
