Interpreting Quantum Chromodynamics from Spin Glass- and Polymer Analogies
arXiv:1002.1478
Abstract
In an informal way some kind of Ising Lattice QCD is introduced which allows to interprete and discuss the well-known theory of quantum chromodynamics (confinement, quarks and gluons, etc.) from simple phenomena of magnetism and polymer physics. Also the viewpoint of duality is stressed. Moreover, the non-abelian character of the Lie group SU(3) is important. The essential arguments for confinement and asymptotic freedom are given at the very end of the manuscript, after an appendix.
