Model of confinement for gauge theories
Description
It is shown that if the Lagrangian density for a gauge field is taken as an appropriate nonlinear function of the usual Lagrangian density, there results a simple classical model of confinement that has nothing to do with the non-Abelian character of the gauge group. Plane-wave solutions are suppressed, suggesting confinement of the gauge quanta as well
