Topology and Confinement In Light-Front QCD
Abstract
Description
In 1+1 dimensional compact QCD the zero modes of $A^+$ give the theory a non- trivial topological structure. We examine the effects of these topological structures on the confining infrared structure of the theory. We show that the ground state wavefunction of the topological excitation smears the infrared behavior sufficiently to eliminate confinement for some matter currents. We review the work of Franke et.al. which shows that the zero modes of$A^+$ in $QCD_{3+1}$ give rise to instantons. The relation of zero modes of$A^+$.Invited talk at the workshop on "Theory of Hadrons ond Light-Front QCD" at Polona Zgorzelisko, Poland August 15-25 1994
