A Z3-symmetric Quantum Chromodynamics

We propose a description of colour triplets of quarks by entangled Z3-graded Lee-Wick type fields, one with real mass and the two remaining ones with mutually conjugate complex masses. This is obtained by attributing colour degrees of freedom to six Pauli spinors, three endowed with colours and three with anti-colours, which are unitrd into one 12-component generalized "coloured Dirac spinor". The so entangled triplet of quark fields satisfies a generalized Dirac equation, with generalized 12x1é gamma-matrices acting on 12-component coloured spinors. The sixth order dispersion relations lead to solutions suitably vanishing in asymptotic region, exhibiting the well established confinement property of coloured quarks' degrees of freedom. We show how one can construct certain cubic combinations of those solutions in a way that cansels the damping factors, producing freely propagating functions.
