The spectrum of radially excited hadrons provides much information about the confinement forces in QCD. The confinement is realized most naturally in terms of the QCD string whose quantization gives rise to the radially excited modes. We…
We start from the observation that, in the confining phase of QCD, the instantaneous color-Coulomb potential in Coulomb gauge is confining. This suggests that, in the confining phase, the dynamics, as expressed in the set of Schwinger-Dyson…
We show that QED radiative corrections change the propagator of a charged Dirac particle so that it acquires a fractional anomalous exponent connected with the fine structure constant. The result is a nonlocal object which represents a…
Following closely the logic of the London phenomenological macroscopic theory of the Meissner effect in superconductors we describe the origin of the short-range behavior of the chromo-electric field, the necessary ingredient for color…
The condensation of monopoles (dual superconductivity) of QCD vacuum is reviewed. Direct evidence is produced that the system, in the confined phase, is a dual superconductor.
A QCD based effective action is constructed to describe the dynamics of confinement and symmetry breaking in the process of parton-hadron conversion. The deconfined quark and gluon degrees of freedom of the perturbative QCD vacuum are…
The analytic structure of {\it physical} amplitudes is considered for gauge theories with confinement of excitations corresponding to the elementary fields. Confinement is defined in terms of the BRST algebra. BRST-invariant, local,…
The evidence is reviewed for the mechanism of colour confinement in QCD by dual superconductivity of the ground state, i.e. by condensation of monopoles.
Here we study two important properties of $2+1$ dimensional QCD -- confinement and pseudoscalar glueball spectrum -- with holographic approach. We consider the low energy decoupled geometry of the isotropic non-susy D$2$ brane. We find the…
The order parameter of confinement together with the haaron model of the QCD vacuum is reviewed and it is pointed out that confining forces are generated by the non-renormalizable, invariant Haar-measure vertices of the path integral. A…
The theory of confinement based on the stochastic field mechanism, known as the Field Corrleator Method (FCM) is discussed in detail. Experimental and lattice data have accumulated a vast amount of material on the properties of confinement…
It has been shown that the mechanism of formation of glue-bags in the strong coupling limit of Yang-Mills theory can be understood in terms of the dynamics of a higher-rank abelian gauge field, namely, the 3-form dual to the Chern-Simons…
In this work quantum electrodynamics at T > 0 is considered. For this purpose we use thermo field dynamics and the causal approach to quantum field theory according to Epstein and Glaser, the latter being a rigorous method to avoid the…
Quark confinement is proposed to be a dual Meissner effect of nonAbelian kind. Important hints come from physics of strongly-coupled infrared-fixed-point theories in N=2 supersymmetric QCD, which turn into confining vacua under a small…
We construct and investigate an infrared-improved soft-wall AdS/QCD model for mesons. Both linear confinement and chiral symmetry breaking of low energy QCD are well characterized in such an infrared-improved soft-wall AdS/QCD model. The…
We present a numerical study about the confining regime of compact U(1) lattice gauge theory in 4D. To address the problem, we exploit the duality properties of the theory. The main features of this method are presented, and its possible…
Effective field theory methods provide a convenient approach to study static observables in field theory at finite temperature. In this talk, I will outline the construction of the effective field theory that describes effective observables…
The bilocal effective action is developed as a viable tool to study mesons in the large-N limit of QCD. Several results from current algebra are derived in a new way using this action. The question of gauge invariance is discussed in an…
The infrared structure of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory is studied by means of lattice gauge simulations using a new constrained cooling technique. This method reduces the action while all Polyakov lines on the lattice remain unchanged. In…
Using the electromagnetic form factor of a quark as a working example, we describe a subtraction technique to treat infrared sensitive regions in non-inclusive processes.
