  • Chapter
Recent Developments in Gauge Theories

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSB,volume 59))

Abstract

In quark confinement physics, the center of the gauge group plays a crucial role.1 This can be seen from a proper formulation of the problem. One would like to explain

  1. (1)

    Quark confinement: There are no physical states with the flavor quantum numbers of a quark = all physical particles have integral baryon number etc.,

  2. (2)

    Saturation of forces: The known physical hadrons are made of three quarks, or a quark and an antiquark, but not six or nine quarks etc..
