Scientific paper

We will review our understanding of non-abelian gauge theories in finite physical volumes. It allows one in a reliable way to trace some of the non-perturbative dynamics. The role of gauge fixing ambiguities related to large field fluctuations is an important lesson that can be learned. The hamiltonian formalism is the main tool, partly because semiclassical techniques are simply inadequate once the coupling becomes strong. Using periodic boundary conditions, continuum results can be compared to those on the lattice. Results in a spherical finite volume will be discussed as well.
