The present knowledge of QCD confining forces between static test charges is summarised, with an emphasis on lattice results. Recent developments in relating QCD potentials to quarkonium properties by use of effective field theory methods are presented. The validity of non-relativistic QCD and the adiabatic approximation with respect to heavy quark bound states is explored. Besides the static potential and relativistic correction terms, the spectra of glueballs and gluinoballs, hybrid excitations of the QCD flux tube between fundamental colour sources, potentials between charges in various representations of the SU(3) gauge group, and multi-particle interactions are discussed. Some implications for quarkonia systems and quark-gluon hybrid mesons are drawn.

  1. Lattice study of spin interactions between heavy quarks in the quark-gluon plasma

    hep-lat 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    The spin-dependent heavy-quark potential in the quark-gluon plasma is complex, with a channel-dependent imaginary part first extracted from lattice QCD.

  2. Exact Schwarzian Metric Factor and Holographic Wilson-Loop Screening

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Exact Schwarzian averaging yields a completely monotone metric factor with no confining minimum, so the Wilson-loop potential screens as E(L) ~ -κ_IR/L² rather than confining.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A symmetry-guided phenomenological model organizes leading current-current operators for charged-current decays of heavy-light mesons and reproduces heavy-quark scaling relations for decay constants and form factors.

    In the Curci-Ferrari model, the non-Abelian Casimir energy between magnetic-conductor plates is 3/2 times that for electric-conductor plates, and the massless limit is discontinuous (vDVZ-like), with the same pattern ...

    hep-lat 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A first, preliminary extraction of the QCD strong coupling from static quark-antiquark energy in (2+1+1)-flavor lattice QCD, consistent with previous determinations but not yet final.

    The Born-Oppenheimer color-molecule model yields M(Ξcc)=3655 MeV versus the measured 3621 MeV and predicts a stable doubly bottom tetraquark with Q=-138 MeV, consistent with lattice QCD.
