At the classical level a confining force is obtained and at the quantum level, using a gauge invariant but path-dependent variables formalism, the Cornell confining potential is explicitly obtained. Our procedure answers completely to the requirements by 't Hooft for ''perturbative confinement''.6 pagesHigh Energy Physics - TheoryConfinement from spontaneous breaking of scale symmetrytext
