abstract

We relate quark confinement, as measured by the Polyakov-loop order parameter, to color confinement, as described by the Kugo-Ojima/Gribov-Zwanziger scenario. We identify a simple criterion for quark confinement based on the IR behaviour of ghost and gluon propagators, and compute the order-parameter potential from the knowledge of Landau-gauge correlation functions with the aid of the functional RG. Our approach predicts the deconfinement transition in quenched QCD to be of first order for SU(3) and second order for SU(2) -- in agreement with general expectations. As an estimate for the critical temperature, we obtain T_c=284MeV for SU(3).

    Including mesonic fluctuations beyond mean field in the quark-meson-diquark model substantially modifies the phase structure, with diquark condensation dominating at strong couplings as revealed by pole masses and the Silver-Blaze property.

    Kaon DA is single-peaked and asymmetric with moments ⟨ξ⟩_K = 0.020(3) and ⟨ξ²⟩_K = 0.253(12) after 1/P_z² and 1/P_z⁴ extrapolation of the quasi-DA.
