We present analytical methods for investigating the interaction of two heavy quarks in QCD_3 using the effective action approach. Our findings result in explicit expressions for the static potentials in QCD_3 for long and short distances.…

We study the distribution of the color fields due to a static quark-antiquark pair in SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We find evidence of dual Meissner effect. We put out a simple relation between the penetration length and the string tension.

Systematic approaches to building up gauge invariant descriptions of charged fields, such as electrons or quarks, are described. Physically relevant descriptions must then be singled out from a multiplicity of possibilities and to this end…

Perturbative QCD, when optimized by the principle of minimal sensitivity at fourth order, yields finite results for R(e+e-)(Q) down to Q=0. For two massless flavours (n_f=2) this occurs because the couplant "freezes" at a fixed point of the…

We show from the action integral that under the assumption of longitudinal dominance and transverse confinement, QCD4 in (3+1) dimensional space-time can be approximately compactified into QCD2 in (1+1) dimensional space-time. In such a…

We explore the features of interpolating gauge for QCD. This gauge, defined by Doust and by Baulieu and Zwanziger, interpolates between Feynman gauge or Lorenz gauge and Coulomb gauge. We argue that it could be useful for defining the…

In contrast to ensembles of singular gauge instantons, which are well known to fail to produce confinement, it is shown that effective theories based on ensembles of merons or regular gauge instantons do produce confinement. Furthermore,…

We review certain properties of confinement with added focus on the ones we study with holography. Then we discuss observables whose unique behavior can indicate the presence of confinement. Using mainly the Wilson loop in the gauge/gravity…

Using gluon and ghost propagators obtained from Schwinger-Dyson equations (SDEs), we construct the non-perturbative effective charge of QCD. We employ two different definitions, which, despite their distinct field-theoretic origin, give…

The order and the universality class of the deconfining phase transition can provide insight into the mechanism of color confinement, in particular for N_f=2. The mechanism of confinement by monopole condensation is reviewed.

We propose a method for measuring the string tension in gauge theories, by considering an interference effect of mesons, which is governed by a space-time area law, due to confinement. Although it is only a gedanken experiment for real…

The basic properties of the confinement mechanism in QCD -- the temperature dependence of the spatial and temporal string tensions ($\sigma_s(T)$ and $\sigma_E(T)$) -- are studied in the framework of the Field Correlator Method (FCM). It is…

We found a quantum perfect lattice action in the 4-dimensional monopole current theory which is known as an effective theory in the infrared region of QCD. The perfect monopole action is transformed exactly into a lattice action of a string…

We investigate the infrared critical exponents of Coulomb gauge Yang-Mills theory in the limit of very high temperature. This allows us to focus on one scale (the spatial momentum) since all but the lowest Matsubara frequency decouple from…

We briefly discuss some results obtained recently about dynamical gluon mass generation. We comment that this mass provides a natural QCD infrared cutoff and also implies an infrared finite coupling constant. We also discuss the…

QCD string is formed at the distances larger than the confinement scale and can be described by the Polchinski--Strominger effective string theory with a nonpolynomial action, which has nevertheless a well-defined semiclassical expansion…

We study quark confinement in a system of two parallel domain walls interpolating different color dielectric media. We use the phenomenological approach in which the confinement of quarks appears considering the QCD vacuum as a color…

There exist certain intrinsic relations between the ultraviolet divergent graphs and the convergent ones at the same loop order in renormalizable quantum field theories. Whereupon we may establish a new method, the intrinsic regularization…

We describe a general method for calculating the infra-red limit of physical quantities in unitary quantum field theories. Using analyticity of Green functions in a complex scale parameter, the infra-red limit is expressed as a contour…

The scalar field plays an fundamental role in the investigation of confinement property characterising many particle physics models. This is achieved by coupling this particle directly with gauge fields at the lagrangian level. We have…
