We propose a reformulation of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in terms of new variables. These variables are appropriate for describing the theory in its infrared limit, and indicate that it admits knotlike configurations as stable solitons. As a consequence we arrive at a dual picture of the Yang-Mills theory where the short distance limit describes asymptotically free, massless point gluons and the large distance limit describes extended, massive knotlike solitons.

  1. Dyon Loops and Abelian Instantons

    hep-th 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Abelian instantons generated by dyon loops carry full instanton charge in the Georgi-Glashow model and form a continuous deformation of small BPST instantons.

  2. Quark confinement consistent with holography due to hyperbolic magnetic monopoles and hyperbolic vortices unifiedly reduced from symmetric instantons

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    A review showing that symmetric instantons reduce to hyperbolic monopoles and vortices whose dilute gas yields an area law for the Wilson loop, giving a semi-classical, holographic picture of quark confinement.
