The weak-coupling Yang–Mills mass gap conjecture
The weak-coupling Yang–Mills mass gap conjecture
Let be the Hamiltonian reconstructed from the four-dimensional Yang–Mills theory, let , and let denote its spectrum. A mass gap is a positive lower bound separating the vacuum eigenvalue from the rest of the spectrum.
Weak-coupling Yang–Mills mass gap conjecture. For any bare coupling constant , the spectrum of contains as a simple eigenvalue for the vacuum eigenstate and satisfies
for an , with for every . In particular, there is a mass gap only if , and the group must be non-abelian.
This is the paper's explicit weak-coupling spectral formulation of the mass-gap claim. The supplied text does not state that it has been proved or refuted.
