Erratum: Physical Interpretation of the Mass Gap Clarification Following Lattice 2024 Findings

Key Points

The mass gap result is clarified to represent the spectral gap of pure Yang-Mills theory, not an observable mass.
The mass gap identified as ∆ * = 1.710 ± 0.015 GeV helps refine our understanding of QCD dynamics.
Clarification follows the findings from Morningstar (2025), strengthening connections between theory and lattice simulations.
This erratum emphasizes the importance of precise interpretation in theoretical physics for research accuracy.

Abstract

This erratum clarifies the physical interpretation of the UIDT mass gap result ∆ * = 1.710 ± 0.015 GeV in light of recent lattice QCD findings. Following Morningstar (2025), arXiv:2502.02547, we emphasise that the mass gap represents the spectral gap of pure Yang-Mills theory, not an observable particle mass in full QCD. All mathematical proofs remain valid and unchanged. Only the physical interpretation requires clarification.
