We analyze the change in free energy, internal energy and entropy due to the presence of a heavy quark anti-quark pair in a QCD heat bath. The internal energies and entropies are introduced as intensive observables calculated through…
We study the QCD color interactions between static two heavy quarks at zero temperature in a quenched SU(3) lattice gauge simulation: in addition to the standard singlet $q\bar{q}$ potentials, we calculate octet $q\bar{q}$ potentials,…
The quark-antiquark gauge invariant Green function is studied through its dependence on Wilson loops. The latter are saturated, in the large Nc limit and for large contours, by minimal surfaces. A covariant bound state equation is derived…
In this letter, we extend the known results for the QCD potential between a static quark and its antiquark by computing the two-loop corrections to the colour-octet state.
It is argued from geometrical, group-theoretical and physical points of view that in the framework of QCD it is not only necessary but also possible to modify the Dirac equation so that correspondence principle holds valid. The Dirac wave…
Scale-invariant running couplings are constructed for several quarks being decoupled together, without reference to intermediate thresholds. Large-momentum scales can also be included. The result is a multi-scale generalization of the…

I consider the behavior of the quark-antiquark potential, called the Cornell Potential, in a quark-gluon plasma. Since mesons are no longer bound in the quark-gluon plasma, there might be a relationship between the string tension of the…
We determine the static potential for a heavy quark-antiquark pair from the spontaneous symmetry breaking of scale invariance in a non-Abelian gauge theory. Our calculation is done within the framework of the gauge-invariant,…
We perform an investigation of the static quark-quark-potential both in the confined and the deconfined phase. We discuss conceptual and technical problems and present first results of an exploratory numerical investigation.
In lattice QCD, a confining potential for a static quark-antiquark pair can be computed with the Wilson loop technique. This potential, dominated by a linear potential at moderate distances, is consistent with the confinement with a flux…
We describe the Wuppertal university pilot project in applied parallel computing. We report on a comprehensive high statistics determination of the static quark-antiquark potential and related quantities from quenched quantum…
We study the QCD phase diagram, in particular we study the critical points of the two main QCD phase transitions, confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. Confinement drives chiral symmetry breaking, and, due to the finite quark mass, at…
We study the phase diagram of QCD with the help of order parameters for chiral symmetry breaking and quark confinement. We also introduce a new order parameter for the confinement phase transition, which is related to the quark density. It…
We analyze the free energy of a static quark anti-quark pair in quenched QCD at short and large distances. From this we deduce running couplings, g^2(r,T), and determine the length scale that separates at high temperature the short distance…
We compute the leading behaviour of the quark anti-quark potential from a generalized Nambu-Goto action associated with a curved space-time having an "extra dimension". The extra dimension can be the radial coordinate in the AdS/CFT…
