Hadrons Without Strings

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates how to eliminate string dependence in the theoretical descriptions of hadrons and glueballs, ensuring gauge invariance without relying on string constructs, across all orders in perturbation theory.

Contribution

It introduces a method to remove string dependence in gauge-invariant descriptions of hadrons and glueballs to all perturbative orders.

Findings

String dependence can be systematically removed.

Gauge invariance achieved without strings.

Method applicable to all orders in perturbation theory.

Abstract

Descriptions of hadrons and glueballs can be constructed using strings to preserve gauge invariance. We show how this string dependence may be removed to all orders in perturbation theory.
