Gluelumps and confinement in QCD

Résumé

Confinement is explained via field correlators, and the latter are calculated via gluelumps. Behavior of the gluelump Green's function at small and large distances yields gluonic condensate and vacuum correlation length, respectively, and allows one to check the consistency of the whole picture.
