Abstract

We consider two fundamental long-standing problems in quantum chromodynamics (QCD): the origin of color confinement and structure of a true vacuum and color singlet quantum states. There is a common belief that resolution to these problems needs a knowledge of a strict non-perturbative quantum Yang-Mills theory and new ideas. Our principal idea in resolving these problems is that structure of color confinement and color singlet quantum states must be determined by a Weyl symmetry which is an intrinsic symmetry of the Yang-Mills gauge theory, and by properties of a selected class of solutions satisfying special requirements. Following this idea we construct for the first time a space of color singlet one particle quantum states for primary gluons and quarks and reveal the structure of color confinement in quantum Yang-Mills theory. As an application we demonstrate formation of physical observables in a pure QCD, pure glueballs.
