Ground State in Gluodynamics and Quark Confinement
arXiv:hep-th/9710235 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(97)01592-X
Abstract
The properties of the ground state wavefunctional in gluodynamics responsible for confinement are considered. It is shown that confinement arises due to the generation of a mass gap in the averaging over the gauge group which is necessary to ensure the gauge invariance of the ground state. The string tension is calculated in assumption of a particular infrared behavior of the vacuum wavefunctional.
