Curvature at Infinity Governs the Topology of Complete Non-Compact Surfaces Admitting Schrödinger Operators of Finite Index

Hideaki Harumoto, Kei Kondo

In this article, we investigate the global topology of a complete non-compact Riemannian -manifold admitting a Schrödinger operator with non-negative potential and finite Mo…

Gauge-independent transition dividing the confinement phase in the lattice SU(2) gauge-adjoint scalar model

Akihiro Shibata, Kei-Ichi Kondo

The lattice SU(2) gauge-scalar model with the scalar field in the adjoint representation of the gauge group has two completely separated confinement and Higgs phases according to t…

Restoration of residual gauge symmetries towards color confinement due to topological defects

Naoki Fukushima, Kei-Ichi Kondo

We reconsider the restoration of the residual gauge symmetry (RGS) due to topological effects as a possible criterion for color confinement. Although the RGS is ``spontaneously bro…

Unitarity Problem in Gribov-Zwanziger Theory

Thitipat Sainapha, Kei-Ichi Kondo

We show that the unitarity problem in the Gribov-Zwanziger theory can be solved by the famous quartet mechanism. The construction of the new quartet in such a theory suggests the i…

Rigorous reconstruction of gluon propagator in the presence of complex singularities

Yui Hayashi, Kei-Ichi Kondo

It has been suggested that the Landau-gauge gluon propagator has complex singularities, which invalidates the Källén-Lehmann spectral representation. Since such singularities are b…

Confinement, mass gap and gauge symmetry in the Yang-Mills theory -- restoration of residual local gauge symmetry

Kei-Ichi Kondo, Naoki Fukushima

In this talk we want to discuss the color confinement criterion which guarantees confinement of all colored particles including dynamical quarks and gluons. The most well-known cri…
