Confinement from Gauge Invariance in 2+1 Dimensions
J. Greensite, S. Olejnik
It is shown, in D=2+1 dimensions, that by merely imposing non-abelian gauge invariance on the temporal gauge ground state wavefunctional of an abelian gauge theory, a confining sta…
Quark Confinement: The Hard Problem of Hadron Physics
R. Alkofer, J. Greensite
We give a brief overview of the problem of quark confinement in hadronic physics, and outline a few of the suggested explanations of the confining force.
Color Screening, Casimir Scaling, and Domain Structure in G(2) and SU(N) Gauge Theories
J. Greensite, K. Langfeld, S. Olejnik +2
We argue that screening of higher-representation color charges by gluons implies a domain structure in the vacuum state of non-abelian gauge theories, with the color magnetic flux…
Peculiarities in the Spectrum of the Adjoint Scalar Kinetic Operator in Yang-Mills Theory
J. Greensite, A. V. Kovalenko, S. Olejnik +3
We study the spectrum of low-lying eigenmodes of the kinetic operator for scalar particles, in the color adjoint representation of Yang-Mills theory. The kinetic operator is the co…
Vortices, Symmetry Breaking, and Temporary Confinement in SU(2) Gauge-Higgs Theory
J. Greensite, S. Olejnik
We further investigate center vortex percolation and Coulomb gauge remnant symmetry breaking in the SU(2) gauge-Higgs model. We show that string breaking is visible in Polyakov lin…
