Resolution of Gauss' law in the maximal Abelian gauge
D. R. Junior, H. Reinhardt
We resolve Gauss' law in the maximal Abelian gauge supplemented by the Coulomb gauge for the Abelian gauge field and derive the gauge-fixed Hamiltonian of QCD.

The 't Hooft loop from a center-vortex wave functional
D. R. Junior, L. E. Oxman, H. Reinhardt
Previously, we proposed an infrared vacuum wave functional for Yang-Mills theory peaked at thin center vortices and showed that it yields an area law for the Wilson loop. I…
