TLDR
In this paper, the ground state of the (110) torelon sector is found to be antisymmetric under x − y interchange, which has a bearing on 't Hooft's conjecture concerning the energy at large volumes of torelons and their string-like nature.

QCD forces and heavy quark bound states

TL;DR: In this article, the present knowledge of QCD confining forces between static test charges is summarised, with an emphasis on lattice results, and the validity of non-relativistic QCD and the adiabatic approximation with respect to heavy quark bound states is explored.

Conformality in many-flavour lattice QCD at strong coupling

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that chiral symmetry is restored via a bulk, first-order transition in the chirally symmetric phase of many-flavor continuum QCD.

Effective string description of confining flux tubes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the theoretical foundations of the effective string theory for confining flux tubes and the comparison of the predictions to pure gauge lattice data. And they summarize the predictions for the spectrum and the profile/width of the flux tube.

A novel approach for computing glueball masses and matrix elements in Yang-Mills theories on the lattice

TL;DR: In this article, the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory on the lattice was used to compute the mass and multiplicity of the lightest glueball with vacuum quantum numbers at a lattice spacing of 0.17 fm.

A property of electric and magnetic flux in non-Abelian gauge theories

TL;DR: In this paper, pure non-Abelian gauge models with gauge group SU( N ) are considered in a box with periodic boundary conditions at various temperatures β − 1. Electric and magnetic flux are defined in a gauge-invariant way.

The string and its tension in Su(3) lattice gauge theory: Towards definitive results

TL;DR: In this paper, the Coulomb-like contribution of π 3A to the ground state energy of polyakov loops has been investigated and shown to be consistent with asymptotic scaling.

A non-perturbative analysis in finite volume gauge theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss SU(2) gauge theory on a three-torus using a finite volume expansion, and obtain continuum results in a region where Monte Carlo data are also available.

The field configurations of a static adjoint source in SU(2) lattice gauge theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial distribution and orientation of the colour fields around a static adjoint source using lattice gauge theory simulations in the pure gauge approximation were studied. And the conclusion is that the color fields are like those from a rough string rotating around the source.

The SU(2) glueball spectrum in a small volume

TL;DR: In this article, the spectrum spectrum in pure gauge theory with an SU(2) colour group was evaluated using lattice theory simulation, and the results for small spatial volumes were compared with the analytic hamiltonian results of Koller and van Baal and with large lattice results.
