Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

The present knowledge of QCD confining forces between static test charges is summarised,
with an emphasis on lattice results. Recent developments in relating QCD potentials to …

We study the formation of a mass gap, or effective gluon mass (and consequent
dimensionful parameters such as the string tension, glueball mass,< Tr G μ ν 2>, correlation …

Magnetic flux can penetrate a type-II superconductor in the form of Abrikosov vortices (also
called flux lines, flux tubes, or fluxons) each carrying a quantum of magnetic flux phi 0= h/2e …

Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics The Confinement Problem in Lattice Gauge
Theory 1 Introduction Page 1 PERGAMON Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics …

The ψ and ϒ spectroscopies are analyzed in the framework of a recently proposed potential
model which incorporates linear confinement and asymptotic freedom. Given the Regge …

I present a pedagogical review of Heisenberg–Euler effective Lagrangians, beginning with
the original work of Heisenberg and Euler, and Weisskopf, for the one loop effective action of …

We find, in close analogy to Abelian dominance in the maximal Abelian gauge, the
phenomenon of center dominance in the maximal center gauge for SU (2) lattice gauge …

These introductory notes are about functional renormalization group equations and some of
their applications. It is emphasised that the applicability of this method extends well beyond …

Before matter as we know it emerged, the universe was filled with the primordial state of
hadronic matter called quark–gluon plasma. This hot soup of quarks and gluons is …
