A New Approach to Scale Symmetry Breaking and Confinement
نویسنده
چکیده
Scale invariant theories which contain (in 4−D) a four index field strength are considered. The integration of the equations of motion of these 4− index field strength gives rise to scale symmetry breaking. The phenomena of mass generation and confinement are possible consequences of this.

Studying Transition From Abelian to Non-Abelian Confinement
The center-stabilized multiflavor QCD* theories formulated on R3 × S1 exhibit both Abelian and non-Abelian confinement as a function of the S1 radius, similar to the Seiberg–Witten theory as a function of the mass deformation parameter. For sufficiently small number of flavors and small r(S1), we show occurence of a mass gap in gauge fluctuations, and linear confinement. This is a regime of con...
متن کاملConfinement and Chiral Symmetry, a Lattice QCD test of AdS/QCD
We use lattice QCD simulations to test some of the predictions of proposed AdS/QCD (holographic) duals for QCD. In particular, these duals predict that the scale of chiral symmetry breaking (χSB) can be varied independently from that of confinement, with the proviso that the scale of χSB cannot be longer than that of confinement. We simulate lattice QCD with 2 quarks in the fundamental represen...
متن کاملA dynamical mechanism for quark confinement
Recently there has been progress in the understanding of the confinement mechanism in Landau gauge QCD. The emerging dynamical description in terms of the underlying gauge dependent degrees of freedom goes beyond the static confinement in the quenched limit and has the potential to describe the scale-dependent phenomenon seen in nature, where new hadrons are produced when the system is sufficie...
متن کاملConfinement in N = 1 SUSY Gauge Theories and Model Building Tools
We develop a systematic approach to confinement in N = 1 supersymmetric theories. We identify simple necessary conditions for theories to confine without chiral symmetry breaking and to generate a superpotential non-perturbatively (sconfine). Applying these conditions we identify all N = 1 theories with a single gauge group and no tree-level superpotential which s-confine. We give a complete li...
متن کاملLinear square-mass trajectories of radially and orbitally excited hadrons in holographic QCD
We consider a new approach towards constructing approximate holographic duals of QCD from experimental hadron properties. This framework allows us to derive a gravity dual which reproduces the empirically found linear square-mass trajectories of universal slope for radially and orbitally excited hadrons. Conformal symmetry breaking in the bulk is exclusively due to infrared deformations of the ...
