Abstract
We outline the steps in a derivation of the statement that the SU(2) gauge theory is in a confining phase for all values of the coupling, 0 < β < ∞, defined at lattice spacing a. The approach employed is to obtain both upper and lower bounds for the partition function and the 'twisted' partition function in terms of approximate decimation transformations. The behavior of the exact quantities is thus constrained by that of the easily computable bounding decimations.
