An Introduction to the Confinement Problem

This book addresses the confinement problem, which quite generally deals with the behavior of non-abelian gauge theories, and the force which is mediated by gauge fields, at large distances.The word "confinement" in the context of hadronic physics originally referred to the fact that quark...
