The theory of this interaction has a property that may be explained by a fluid composed of instantons.
The theory of this interaction has a property that may be explained by a fluid composed of instantons. One phase of matter predicted by a model of this force cannot be studied by perturbation theory, necessitating the use of lattice gauge theory. One form of this interaction is mediated by virtual pi and rho mesons and is modeled by the (*) Yukawa potential. The gauge theory describing this force is based on the group SU(3) and is known as QCD. This force acts on particles with color charge and is mediated by gluons. For 10 points, identify this force whose name suggests its ability to function over much vaster distances than the weak force.
