Effective Quantum Dynamics of Quarks and Gluons in a Stochastic Background
Jose A. Magpantay
The quantum dynamics of quarks, gluons and the scalar degrees of freedom associated with the non-linear regime of the non-linear gauge is derived. We discuss the subtleties in quan…
A Confining Non-Local Four-Fermi Interaction from Yang-Mills Theory in a Stochastic Background
Jose A. Magpantay
We derive a non-local four-fermi term with a linear potential from Yang-Mills Theory in a stochastic background. The stochastic background is a class of classical configuration der…
Effective "Gluon" Dynamics in a Stochastic Vacuum
Jose A. Magpantay
Using the new scalar and vector degrees of freedom derived from the non-linear gauge condition (grad-dot-D)(grad-dot-A)=0, we show that the effective dynamics of the vector fields…
The Geometrical Basis of the Nonlinear Gauge
Jose A. Magpantay
We consider Yang-Mills theory in Euclidean space-time and construct its configuration space. The orbits are first shown to form a congruence set. Then we discuss the orthog…
Direct Quantization of Open Dissipative Systems
Jose A. Magpantay
Open, dissipative systems subject to a random force are directly quantized. The starting point is the effective action derived using the method of Parisi-Sourlas. Since the effecti…
