Confinement in noncompact nonabelian gauge theories on the lattice

We have investigated by Monte Carlo simulation a recently proposed lattice regularization of gauge theories where the gauge fields are noncompact but gauge-invariance is exact. We have found a nonvanishing value of the string tension.
