Point-like sources of Euclidean non-abelian field in the instanton liquid

Abstract

An appraisal of average energy of Euclidean non-abelian point-like source in the instanton liquid is calculated. It behaves linearly increasing at large distances while unscreened. For the dipole in colour singlet state this energy increases linearly again with the separation increasing and its "tension" coefficient develops the magnitude pretty similar to the lattice approach and other model estimates. The situation of sources arbitrary oriented in colour space is perturbatively considered.
