Abstract
This is the second of the two last papers by V.N. Gribov concluding
his 20 year long study of the problem of quark confinement in QCD.
In this paper the analytic structure of quark and gluon Green
functions is investigated in the framework of the theory of confinement
based on the phenomenon of supercritical binding of light quarks.
The problem of unitarity in a confining theory is discussed. The
write-up remained unfinished and as such it is presented here. The
author was planning to emphasise the link between the electroweak
and strong interactions, and in particular the rôle of pions
(Goldstone bosons) in confinement, to present an explicit solution
for bound states, and to write down an analytic model for quark and
gluon Green functions corresponding to confinement.
