* ABSTRACT

It has been proposed that under appropriate conditions,
such as in the strongly correlated environment of high-temperature
superconductors, the spin and charge of an electron may become
separated andact as individual particle states. In this talk we suggest that a
similarslave-bosondecomposition between spin and charge can also occur in Yang-Mills theories,with the gluon becoming split into an independent spin and (color)
charge carrier. If such a slave-boson decomposition of a gluon occurs in the
environment of hadronic particles, it could lead to a new understanding of
hadronic structure and confinement. Furthermore, a gluonic slave-boson
decomposition could also have important consequences to Early Universe,
and quark-gluon plasma.
