Spectral SU(3) Gauge Invariant on Four-Dimensional Euclidean Lattices: Wilson Loop Expectation Values, Area Law Confinement, and the Non-Perturbative Mass Gap
Abstract
Complete lattice computation of Wilson loop expectation values under SU(3) gauge theory on a four-dimensional Euclidean lattice. Establishes color confinement via the area law and extracts the non-perturbative Yang-Mills mass gap of 77.71 MeV from the two-point glueball correlator spectral decomposition. ⚖️ PROPRIETARY SOVEREIGN RESEARCH LICENSE (PSRL v2.0) © 2026 Dimitar Prodromov / AETERNA Technologies EOOD, Pomorie, Bulgaria.
