derived one feature of this theory, which states that particle interactions will become weak at shorter distances, known as asymptotic freedom.
In the chiral limit, the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Model can be seen as a phenomenological version of this theory, and one version of it was formulated using an invariant equal to the trace of a path-ordered exponential known as the Wilson loop, and is referred to as the "lattice" variety. Another version relies on a series of factorization theorems, called the "perturbative" variety. The Gell-Mann matrices are the infinitesimal generators of the SU(3) group, which is central to this theory, and Gross, Politzer, and Wilczek derived one feature of this theory, which states that particle interactions will become weak at shorter distances, known as asymptotic freedom. FTP, name this theory that explains the strong force in terms of quarks, gluons, and color charge.
