    We consider the gauge fixed partition function of pure SU(Nc)SU(N_c) gauge theory in axial gauge following the Halpern's field strength formalism. We integrate over 3(Nc2βˆ’1)3 (N_c^2-1) field strengths using the Bianchi identities and obtain an effective action of the remaining 3(Nc2βˆ’1)3 (N_c^2-1) field strengths in momentum space. We obtain the static solutions of the equations of motion (EOM) of the effective theory. The solutions exhibit Gaussian nature in the zz component of momentum and are proportional to the delta functions of the remaining components of momentum. The solutions render a finite energy density of the system and the parameters are found to be proportional to fourth root of the gluon condensate. It indicates that the solutions offer a natural mass scale in the low energy phase of the theory.Comment: 6 pages Minor changes in the manuscript and two figures adde
