The confining branch of QCD
Marco Bochicchio
We show that, as a consequence of a physical interpretation based on the Abelian projection and on the QCD string, four-dimensional QCD confines the electric flux if and only if th…

The Abelian projection versus the Hitchin fibration of K(D) pairs in four-dimensional QCD
Marco Bochicchio
We point out that the concept of Abelian projection gives us a physical interpretation of the role that the Hitchin fibration of parabolic K(D) pairs plays in the large-N limit of…

Some comments on S-duality in four-dimensional QCD
Marco Bochicchio
We show that a necessary condition, for the partition function of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory to satisfy a S-duality property, is that certain functional determinants, gener…

Large-N limit and contact terms in unbroken YM_4
Marco Bochicchio
I characterize the structure of the master field for in - on a product of two Riemann surfaces in the gauge …
