The Confinement

Abstract

Numerous aspects and mechanisms of color confinement in QCD are surveyed. After a gauge-invariant definition of order parameters, the phenomenon is formulated in the language of field correlators, to select a particular correlator responsible for confinement. In terms of effective Lagrangians confinement is viewed upon as a dual Meissner effect and a quantitative correspondence is established via the popular abelian projection method, which is explained in detail. To determine the field configurations possibly responsible for confinement, the search is made among the classical solutions, and selection criterium is introduced.
