From short to long scales in the QCD vacuum

Abstract

We study approximate decimations in SU(N) LGT that connect the short to long distance regimes, and provide both upper and lower bounds on the exact partition function. This leads to a representation of the exact partition function in terms of successive decimations. The implications for a derivation of confinement from first principles are discussed.Comment: 3 pages, talk presented at Lattice2003(topology
