Description
It remains a big challenge to provide a theoretical explanation for confinement. The principal obstacle lies in the behavior of the QCD coupling constant. It is no longer small and thus perturbation theory becomes unusable in the low energy regime. As a promising approach to the problem, we turn to supersymmetric gauge theories, which provide analytical control. We defined a new type of confining supersymmetric gauge theories, truly-confining theories. Moreover, we successfully classified all truly-confining theories and identified condensation of some operators in each case, which must be related to confinement.
