| dc.description | Using the new scalar and vector degrees of freedom derived from the non-linear gauge condition (grad-dot-D)(grad-dot-A)=0, we show that the effective dynamics of the vector fields (identified as ``gluons'') in the stochastic vacuum defined by the scalars result in the vector fields acquiring a range of possible masses and losing their self-interactions. From this range of masses, we derive the mass gap in pure Yang-Mills theory. Finally, we comment on the gauge-invariance of the result. | |
