On Some Positivity Properties of the Interquark Potential in QCD

Abstract

We prove that the Fourier transform of the exponential $e^{-\b V(R)}$ of the {\bf static} interquark potential in QCD is positive. It has been shown by Eliott Lieb some time ago that this property allows in the same limit of static spin independent potential proving certain mass relation between baryons with different quark flavors.
