Abstract: (Elsevier)
We show that if the gluon propagator has a highly singular infrared behavior (such as 1 q 4 ) in any one gauge then the Wilson loop must fall exponentially to zero with an area law, indicative of confinement. The proof of this claim follows from an inequality derived via a mean value theorem.- QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS
