We study a non-Abelian gauge theory with a pseudo scalar coupling phiTr(F*μνFμν) in the case where a constant chromo-electric, or chromo-magnetic, strength expectation value is present. We compute the interaction potential within the framework of gauge-invariant, path-dependent, variables formalism. While in the case of a constant chromo-electric field strength expectation value the static potential remains Coulombic, in the case of a constant chromo-magnetic field strength the potential energy is the sum of a Coulombic and a linear potential, leading to the confinement of static charges.

Abstract
We study a non-Abelian gauge theory with a pseudo scalar coupling phiTr(F*μνFμν) in the case where a constant chromo-electric, or chromo-magnetic, strength expectation value is present. We compute the interaction potential within the framework of gauge-invariant, path-dependent, variables formalism. While in the case of a constant chromo-electric field strength expectation value the static potential remains Coulombic, in the case of a constant chromo-magnetic field strength the potential energy is the sum of a Coulombic and a linear potential, leading to the confinement of static charges.File in questo prodotto:
