The center vortex model of quantum-chromodynamics can explain confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. We present a possible resolution for problems of the vortex detection in smooth configurations and discuss improvements for the detection of center vortices.

Diagrammatic Perturbation Theory

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the strong interactions, involves quarks interacting with non-Abelian gluon fields. This theory has many features that are difficult to impossible to see in conventional diagrammatic perturbation theory. This includes quark confinement, mass generation and chiral symmetry breaking. This paper is a colloquium level overview of the framework for understanding how these effects come about.

Gluon Mass

We study the nontrivial solutions of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) fermionic gap equation (FGE) including the contribution of dynamically massive gluons and the confining propagator proposed by Cornwall. Without the confining propagator, in the case of nonrunning gluon mass (mg), we found the multivacuum solutions (replicas) reported in the literature and we were able to define limits on mg for dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (CSB). On the other side, when considering the running in the gluon mass the vacuum replicas are absent in the limits on mg where the chiral symmetry is broken. In the pure confining sector, the multivacuum states are always absent so it is said that only one stable solution for the gap equation is found as claimed in previous analysis using different approaches. Finally, in the case of the complete gap equation i.e. with both contributions, the vacuum replicas are also absent in both cases; with constant and with running gluon mass.
