Geometric interpretation of a new hadronization model

It is shown that the phenomenological potential, used in the context of a recent successful hadronization scheme to realize an effective quark confinement, can be reproduced by coupling, to first order, the quark field to the geometry of an anti-de Sitter vacuum. This seems to suggest a geometric interpretation which could explain and justify the manifest Lorentz noninvariance of the original effective hadronization model. (orig.)
