Quark confinement due to non-Abelian magnetic monopoles in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory (1209.0311v1)
Published 3 Sep 2012 in hep-th, hep-lat, and hep-ph
Abstract: We present recent results on quark confinement: in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory, confinement of fundamental quarks is obtained due to the dual Meissner effect originated from non-Abelian magnetic monopoles defined in a gauge-invariant way, which is distinct from the well-known Abelian projection scenario. This is achieved by using a non-Abelian Stokes theorem for the Wilson loop operator and a new reformulation of the Yang-Mills theory.
