Geometric Approach to Quark Confinement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interactions that explain quark confinement correspond, in the first approximation, to interactions in 2-D space-time. In this paper, we show that this fact has a geometric explanation: Namely, • on the most fundamental geometric level (of causality relations) quark confinement means that causality forms a lattice (i.e., an ordering in which every two events have the least upper bound and the greatest lower bound); and • a space-time is a lattice if and only if its proper space is 1-D (i.e., if the space-time itself is 2-D).

In most models, mesons consist of quark -antiquark pairs moving in a confining potential. However, it would be interesting to consider the effect of an extra residual interaction by introducing the quark particles which contain a dependent spin and isospin. In the Chiral constituent quark model, the hyperfine part of the potential is provided by the interaction of the Goldstone bosons, which ...
متن کاملSADDLE POINT VARIATIONAL METHOD FOR DIRAC CONFINEMENT
A saddle point variational (SPV ) method was applied to the Dirac equation as an example of a fully relativistic equation with both negative and positive energy solutions. The effect of the negative energy states was mitigated by maximizing the energy with respect to a relevant parameter while at the same time minimizing it with respect to another parameter in the wave function. The Cornell pot...
متن کاملDynamically induced scalar quark confinement
We employ a functional approach to investigate the confinement problem in quenched Landau gauge QCD. We demonstrate analytically that a linear rising potential between massive quarks is generated by infrared singularities in the dressed quark-gluon vertex. The selfconsistent mechanism that generates these singularities is driven by the scalar Dirac amplitudes of the full vertex and the quark pr...
متن کاملConfinement and Green functions in Landau-gauge QCD
In a functional approach to QCD the infrared behaviour of Landau gauge Green functions is investigated. Positivity violation for, and thus confinement of, gluons is demonstrated, and the analytic structure of the gluon propagator is studied. Quark confinement is related to an infrared divergence of the quark-gluon vertex. In the latter various components are dynamically induced due to the spont...
متن کاملSqueezed gluon condensate and quark confinement in the global colour model of QCD
We discuss how the presence of a squeezed gluon vacuum might lead to quark confinement in the framework of the global colour model of QCD. Using reduced phase space quantization of massive vector theory we construct a Lorentz invariant and colourless squeezed gluon condensate and show that it induces a permanent, nonlocal quark interaction (delta-function in 4momentum space), which according to...
