Abstract

Recent mathematical results concerning lattice gauge theories are surveyed. The distinction between color screening and color confinement is explained in terms of the center of the color gauge group, for heavy quarks. The role of the center in terms of non-abelian vortices and confinement is also discussed.

Supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant PHY-78-08066.
