abstract

QCD-like theories can be engineered to remain in a confined phase when compactified on an arbitrarily small circle, where their features may be studied quantitatively in a controlled fashion. Previous work has elucidated the generation of a non-perturbative mass gap and the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry in this regime. Here, we study the rich spectrum of hadronic states, including glueball, meson, and baryon resonances. We find an exponentially growing Hagedorn density of states, as well as the emergence of non-perturbative energy scales given by iterated exponentials of the inverse Yang-Mills coupling $g^2$.

  1. Chromomagnetic condensation and perturbative confinement induced by imaginary rotation in SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In SU(2) Yang-Mills, imaginary rotation is shown to induce a chromomagnetic condensate and to turn the perturbative confinement transition first-order, with phase boundary approaching Ω̃_c = π/√3.

  2. Self-dual monopole loops, instantons and confinement

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Interactions among self-dual monopole-like constituents of instantons remove the infrared divergence and, the authors conjecture, drive confinement in 4d Yang-Mills.
