We show that a lattice model for induced lattice QCD which was recently proposed by Kazakov and Migdal has a $Z_N$ gauge symmetry which, in the strong coupling phase, results in a local confinement where only color singlets are allowed to…
It is argued that the recently proposed Kazakov-Migdal model of induced gauge theory, at large $N$, involves only the zero area Wilson loops that are effectively trees in the gauge action induced by the scalars. This retains only a constant…
The spectrum of observables in the induced lattice gauge model proposed recently by V.A.Kazakov and A.A.Migdal obeys the local-confinement selection rule. The underlying local continuous symmetry cannot be spontaneously broken within the…
We investigate a class of operators with non-vanishing averages in a D-dimensional matrix model recently proposed by Kazakov and Migdal. Among the operators considered are ``filled Wilson loops" which are the most reasonable counterparts of…
Recently Kazakov and Migdal proposed a new approach to the large $N$ limit of SU(N) gauge theories which could hopefully describe the asymptotically free fixed point of QCD in 4 dimensions. In this contribution we review the exact solution…
The problems with the $Z_N$ symmetry breaking in the induced QCD are analyzed. We compute the Wilson loops in the strong coupling phase, but we do not find the $Z_N$ symmetry breaking, for arbitrary potential. We suggest to bypass this…
The induced lattice gauge theory with various types of inducing fields in fundamental representation of $SU(N_{c})$ is considered. In a simple case of one-plaquette lattice the model is solved in the large $N_{c}$ limit by means of loop…
We review some of the basic features of the Kazakov-Migdal model of induced QCD. We emphasize the role of $Z_N$ symmetry in determining the observable properties of the model and also argue that it can be broken explicitly without ruining…
A simple lattice model inducing a gauge theory is considered. The model describes an interaction of a gauge field to an $N\times N$ complex matrix scalar field transforming as a field in the fundamental representation. In contrast to the…
I consider a lattice model of a gauge field interacting with matrix-valued scalars in $D$ dimensions. The model includes an adjustable parameter $\s$, which plays role of the string tension. In the limit $\s=\infty$ the model coincides with…
We study the lattice gauge model proposed recently by Kazakov and Migdal for inducing QCD. We discuss an extra local Z_N which is a symmetry of the model and propose of how to construct observables. We discuss the role of the large-N phase…
We show that the Kazakov-Migdal (K-M) induced gauge model in $d$ dimensions describes the high temperature limit of ordinary lattice gauge theories in $d+1$ dimensions. The matter fields are related to the Polyakov loops, while the spatial…
Linear confinement with Casimir scaling of the string tension in confining gauge theories is a consequence of a certain property of the Polyakov loop related to random matrices. This mechanism does not depend on the details of the theories…
I propose a class of D\geq{2} lattice SU(N) gauge theories dual to certain vector models endowed with the local [U(N)]^{D} conjugation-invariance and Z_{N} gauge symmetry. In the latter models, both the partitition function and Wilson loop…
We study numerically the SU(2) Kazakov-Migdal model of `induced QCD'. In contrast to our earlier work on the subject we have chosen here {\it not} to integrate out the gauge fields but to keep them in the Monte Carlo simulation. This allows…
Using the eigen-mode of the QCD Dirac operator $\Slash D=\gamma^\mu D^\mu$, we develop a manifestly gauge-covariant expansion and projection of the QCD operators such as the Wilson loop and the Polyakov loop. With this method, we perform a…
We examine the properties of observables in the Kazakov-Migdal model. We present explicit formulae for the leading asymptotics of adjoint Wilson loops as well as some other observables for the model with a Gaussian potential. We discuss the…

I revue the so called Wilson loop approach to bound state problem in QCD. I shall show how using appropriate path integral representations for the quark propagator in an external field it is possible to obtain corresponding path integral…
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…
