Quark confinement and metric fluctuations

TL;DR

This paper explores the connection between quark confinement mechanisms and metric fluctuations, proposing that self-gravitational interactions and spacetime fluctuations at the Planck scale could underlie confinement models like the Cornell potential and MIT bag model.

Contribution

It introduces a novel hypothesis that metric fluctuations at the Planck scale may be the fundamental origin of quark confinement mechanisms.

Findings

Confinement may originate from metric fluctuations at the Planck scale.

Self-gravitational interactions could explain the internal degrees of freedom of particles.

Proposes a unified view linking spacetime fluctuations to quark confinement.

Abstract

We analyse, by doing very simple calculations, the internal degree of freedom leading to the de Broglie frequency associated to a material particle, as well, the confinement of quarks provided both by the Cornell potential and by the MIT bag model.We propose that the driving forces behind these confining models could be originated in the fluctuations of the metric, namely the particle interacting self-gravitationally, when its mass fluctuates in position throught of a distance equal to the Planck length.
