CONFINEMENT, CHIRAL SYMMETRY, AND THE LATTICE Michael Creutz Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 Full text: ::pdf :: (Received 12 May 2011, accepted 13 May 2011) Abstract: Two crucial properties of QCD, confinement and chiral symmetry breaking, cannot be understood within the context of conventional Feynman perturbation theory. Non-perturbative phenomena enter the theory in a fundamental way at both the classical and quantum levels. Over the years a coherent qualitative picture of the interplay between chiral symmetry, quantum mechanical anomalies, and the lattice has emerged and is reviewed here.
