However, in this paper we show that the Coulomb potential of the form $\\frac{1}{r}$ is not a part of the QCD potential. This is because the form $\\frac{g^2}{r}$ is for abelian theory (not QCD) and the form $\\frac{g^2(\\mu)}{r}$ in QCD at short distance is not of the Coulomb form $\\frac{1}{r}$ because $g(\\mu)$ depends on the mass/length scale $\\mu$. Similarly at long distance the QCD potential corresponds to the potential in the classical Yang-Mills theory which does not have the Coulomb form $\\frac{1}{r}$ because the fundamental color cha"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1805.00446","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
