Confining Effective Theories Based on Instantons and Merons
F. Lenz, J. W. Negele, M. Thies
An effective theory based on ensembles of either regular gauge instantons or merons is shown to produce confinement in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. When the scale is set by the string…

QCD at Finite Extension
F. Lenz, M. Thies
A study of QCD at finite extension is presented and the relation to QCD at finite temperature and in the infinite momentum frame is discussed. The dynamics of Polyakov loops is inv…
