Various aspects and mechanisms of QCD colour confinement are surveyed. Following the
introduction of gauge-invariant order parameters, a field-correlator definition of the …

Lattice gauge theories1 are the only known rigorous nonperturbative formulations of non-
Abelian theories and their interpretation as regularized versions of continuum quantum field …

We study the dual superconductivity of the ground state of SU (2) gauge theory in
connection with confinement. We do this measuring on the lattice a disorder parameter …

Abstract Starting from SU (2) Yang-Mills theory in 3+ 1 dimensions, we prove that the
Abelian-projected effective gauge theories are written in terms of the maximal Abelian …

A detailed discussion is given of the disorder parameter for dual superconductivity of lattice
gauge theories, introduced in a previous paper, and of its relation to other approaches. New …

Local gauge symmetries cannot break spontaneously, according to Elitzur's theorem, but
this leaves open the possibility of breaking some global subgroup of the local gauge …

In this review, we provide a short outlook of some of the current most popular pictures and
promising approaches to non-perturbative physics and confinement in gauge theories. A …

We investigate the dual superconductivity hypothesis in pure SU (2) lattice gauge theory. We
focus on the dual Meissner effect by analyzing the distribution of the color fields due to a …

The Z (N) center symmetry plays an important role in the deconfinement phase transition of
SU (N) Yang–Mills theory at finite temperature. The exceptional group G (2) is the smallest …
