Restoration of the Local Gauge Symmetry and Color Confinement in Non-Abelian Gauge Theories. II

Abstract:

We consider, in the covariantly gauge-fixed continuum theory of QCD formulated by the Euclidean path integral, a specific local gauge symmetry transformation which changes the boundary condition of the gauge fields. This local gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken in perturbation theory. We show that if this symmetry is restored dynamically, then the total confinement of color is realized. The restoration condition is found to coincide with the color confinement condition proposed earlier by Kugo and Ojima. The correspondence with the symmetry restoration in the non-linear σ-model in 2 dimensions and the relation with our previous indirect approach are also discussed.
