Relativistic Action at a Distance Formulation of the Strong Interaction

Authors: Juan R. González-Álvarez

We demonstrate that the strong interaction can also be formulated as an action-at-a-distance theory. Starting from the nonlinear gluon wave equation, we derive an exact momentum-space propagator for the gluon with a dynamical mass determined by the color current. To make its momentum dependence analytically manageable, we also obtain an exact discrete spectral representation of the propagator, whose lower-order truncations reproduce the Refined and Very Refined Gribov-Zwanziger propagators used in confinement studies, but now with a dynamical origin for their mass scales. Ordinary Yang-Mills theory and the free gluon propagator are recovered in the ultraviolet regime, where confinement becomes irrelevant.
