Vacuum polarization and the absence of free quarks in four dimensions
Abstract
We speculate that the mechanism of one-dimensional quantum electrodynamics for prohibiting quark production can be generalized to three-dimensional space. The important feature of one-dimensional gauge theories which trap quarks is that electric flux lines cannot spread out and can only end on a charge. The generalization to three dimensions involves dynamical nonlinearities which trap electric flux lines into tubelike configurations. It is suggested that the required nonlinearities arise in Yang-Mills theories of "colored" quarks. The large-scale properties of hadrons would be described by a stringlike model similar to the conventional dual model.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
