The purpose of this paper is to review the recent progress in understanding quark confinement. The emphasis of this review is placed on how to obtain a manifestly gauge-independent picture for quark confinement supporting the dual…
This project considers the finite symmetry subgroups of the orthogonal group $\mathrm{O}(3) \subset \mathrm{GL}(3,\mathbb{R})$ and the index $2$ containments $G\lhd \widehat{G}$. The special orthogonal group $\mathrm{SO}(3) \subset…
In this paper, a quantum mechanical Green's function $G_{qo}(y_b,t_b;$ $y_a,t_a)$ for the quartic oscillator is presented. This result is built upon two previous papers: first [1], detailing the linearization of the quartic oscillator…
The effects of quantum fluctuations in fields confined by background configurations may be simply and transparently computed using the Green's function approach pioneered by Schwinger. Not only can total energies and surface forces be…
This document contains information supplementary to the article [1], but it is self-contained and can be read independently as a pedagogical review. In the first part, we explain our conventions for the tight-binding description of…
The theory developed by Gruner and Welsch [Phys. Rev. A 54, 1661 (1996)] for calculating the 1D input-output relations of the quantized electromagnetic field at dispersing and absorbing dielectric (multilayer) plates is generalized to the…
We have proposed the non-Abelian dual superconductivity in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory for the mechanism of quark confinement,and we presented the numerical evidences in preceding lattice conferences by using the proposed gauge link…
We give another derivation of quark confinement in QCD from the viewpoint of the low-energy effective Abelian gauge theory of QCD obtained via Abelian projection. It is based on the recently discovered Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase…
This is a comment on a paper by Glendenning, Pei, and Weber (Phys. Rev. Lett., 79, 1603, 1997), where the authors gave an incorrect estimate of the event rate and neglected the important gravitational energy release. Previous work on the…
The study of Yang-Mills theories in three dimensions is an insightful playground to grasp important features for the four-dimensional case. Additionally, in three dimensions, the Chern-Simons term can be introduced with a mass parameter of…
These lecture notes present a comprehensive and powerful many-body technique pioneered in 1960 by D. N. Zubarev. The technique, known as the Zubarev Double Time Greens Function method, was used extensively by leading solid state physicists…
We show that, starting from known exact classical solutions of the Yang-Mills theory in three dimensions, the string tension is obtained and the potential is consistent with a marginally confining theory. The potential we obtain agrees…
The lectures, delivered at ECT (European Centre for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas) in Trento (Italy) in 2002 and 2003, are addressed to physicists who wish to acquire a minimal background to understand present day…
In oder to investigate quark confinement, we give a new reformulation of the $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory on a lattice and present the results of the numerical simulations of the $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory on a lattice. The numerical…
Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) Green's function, multiple-scattering theory is an efficient site-centered, electronic-structure technique for addressing an assembly of $N$ scatterers. Wave-functions are expanded in a spherical-wave basis on…
In 1967, Faddeev and Popov were able to quantize the Yang-Mills theory by introducing new particles called ghost through the introduction of a gauge. Ever since, this quantization has become a standard textbook item. Some years later,…
Some model-independent properties of the effective string of gauge field systems in the confining phase , for very large quark separations, are described in terms of two-dimensional conformal field theories. The constraints induced by the…
This article gathers notes of two lectures given at Grenoble's University in June $2023$, and is an introduction to recent works on shear layers, in collaboration with D. Bian, Y. Guo, T. Nguyen and B. Pausader.
This paper is based on four lectures given at the Trieste Summer School 1994 on theories of fermion masses. The first two lectures introduce three mechanisms which have been used to construct models of fermion masses. We then discuss some…
The present article provides an overview of Yakov Eliashberg's seminal contributions to the concepts of orderability and contact non-squeezing. It also examines subsequent research by various authors, highlighting the significance of these…
