Color Confinement

In the present work we show that it is possible to arrive at a Ginzburg-Landau (GL) like equation from pure SU (2) gauge theory. This has a connection to the dual superconducting model for color confinement where color flux tubes permanently bind quarks into color neutral states. The GL Lagrangian with a spontaneous symmetry breaking potential, has such (Nielsen-Olesen) flux tube solutions. The spontaneous symmetry breaking requires a tachyonic mass for the effective scalar field. Such a tachyonic mass term is obtained from the condensation of ghost fields.

Time Information

The light-front (LF) quantization of the bosonized Schwinger model is discussed. The proposal, successfully used earlier for describing the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) on the LF, of separating first the scalar field into the dynamical condensate and the fluctuation fields before employing the standard Dirac method works here as well. The condensate variable is now shown to be a q-number operator in contrast to the case of SSB where it was shown to be a c-number. The condensate or θ-vacua emerge straightforwardly along with their continuum normalization which avoids the violation of the cluster decomposition property. Attention is drawn to the fact that the theory quantized, say, at equal x+, carries in it at the same time information on equal x- commutators as well.
