Section A: Vacuum Structure and Confinement

We propose a reformulation of the SU(N) Yang-Mills theory toward quark confinement and mass gap. In fact, we have given a number of new reformulations for the SU(N) Yang-Mills theory using new field variables, other than the framework given by Cho, Faddeev and Niemi, which is included in our reformulations as a special case called the maximal option. The advantage of the reformulations is...

152. Discriminating between two reformulations of SU(3) Yang-Mills theory on a lattice: Abelian monopole or non-Abelian monopole responsible for confinement

Section A: Vacuum Structure and Confinement

We have pointed out that the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory has a new way of reformulation using new field variables (minimal option), in addition to the conventional option adopted by Cho, Faddeev and Niemi (maximal option). The reformulation enables us to change the original non-Abelian gauge field into the new field variables such that one of them called the restricted field gives the...
