%0 Journal Article %T Quark Confinement from Correlation Functions %A Leonard Fister %A Jan M. Pawlowski %J Physics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X We study quark confinement by computing the Polyakov loop potential in Yang--Mills theory within different non-perturbative functional continuum approaches [1]. We extend previous studies in the formalism of the functional renormalisation group and complement those with findings from Dyson--Schwinger equations and two-particle-irreducible functionals. These methods are formulated in terms of low order Green functions. This allows to identify a criterion for confinement solely in terms of the low-momentum behaviour of correlators. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1302.1373v1
