LGLukas Geiger

Key Points

  • Establish a volume-independent spectral gap for SU(N) lattice gauge theory in the strong-coupling regime.
  • Utilized Holley–Stroock and Dobrushin–Zegarlinski tensorisation methods to prove the spectral gap.
  • Formulated continuum transfer as a conditional RG/OS-transfer problem.
  • Analyzed SU(2) in d=4 with a tanh-based threshold for β < 2 artanh(1/6) ≈ 0.336.
  • Demonstrated a volume-independent spectral gap for SU(N) lattice gauge theory under strong coupling conditions.
  • Conditional route to improved scaling through a restricted Poincaré inequality on typical sets.
  • Continued challenges in proving the continuum mass gap.

Abstract

DRAFT version. This is an advanced draft and remains subject to revision. The continuum Yang-Mills mass gap is not claimed as fully proved; the paper establishes strong-coupling lattice gap machinery and formulates the continuum transfer as a conditional RG/OS-transfer problem. We prove a volume-independent spectral gap for SU (N) lattice gauge theory in the strong-coupling regime using Holley–Stroock and Dobrushin–Zegarlinski tensorisation. For SU (2) in d=4 the tanh-based threshold is β 0 for SU (2) block-spin kernel. Minor: Bougerol–Lacroix (1985) reference added. Minor: Duplicate label fix (eq: typical-set). Changes in Version 2. 0 (March 2026) Critical: Fixed placement (was outside group).
