Precanonical quantization of the Yang-Mills fields and the mass gap
problem
We overview the ideas of the precanonical quantization approach and
apply it to the Yang-Mills fields. We show how the approach reduces
the mass gap problem to a quantum mechanical spectral problem
similar to that for the magnetic Schroedinger operator with a
Clifford-valued magnetic field. Reference: hep-th/0301001.
