The Yang-Mills vacuum in Coulomb gauge.

The Yang-Mills Schrödinger equation is solved in Coulomb gauge for the vacuum by the variational principle using an ansatz for the wave functional, which is strongly peaked at the Gribov horizon. We find an infrared suppressed gluon propagator, an infrared singular ghost propagator and an almost linearly rising confinement potential. Using these solutions we calculate the eletric field of static color charge distributions relevant for mesons and baryons. © 2005 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
