In colorgeometrodynamics fundamental spinor fields are assumed to obey a GL(2f,C)⊗GL(2c,C) gauge‐invariant nonlinearspinorequation of the Heisenberg–Pauli–Weyl type. Quark confinement, assimilating a scheme of Salam and Strathdee, is (partially) mediated by the tensor ’’gluons’’ of stronggravity. This hypothesis is incorporated into the model by considering the nonlinear Dirac equation in a curved space‐time of hadronic dimensions. Disregarding internal degrees of freedom, it is then feasible, for a peculiar background space‐time, to obtain exact solutions of the spherical bound‐state problem. Finally, these solutions are tentatively interpreted as droplet‐type solitons and remarks on their interrelation with Wheeler’s geon construction are made.

A deviation of the effective mass ωμ appearing in the phase of the Ansatz (3.1) from the “bare mass” μ of the fundamental spinors may be attributed to a possible Archimedes effect10 of the hadronic environment. In CGMD the latter may originate from nonlinear self‐interactions and the gluonic curvature barriers of strong gravity.
