Confinement as analytic continuation beyond infinite coupling

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: This paper proposes a new mechanism for confinement: analytic continuation beyond infinite coupling in the space of the coupling constant. The analytic continuation is realized by renormalization group flows from the weak to the strong coupling regime. The authors demonstrate this mechanism explicitly for the mass gap in two-dimensional sigma models in the large N limit.
