The perturbatively calculable short distance QCD potential is known to two loops including the effect of massive quarks. Recently, a simple approximate solution in momentum space was utilized to obtain the potential in coordinate space. The…
We determine the anomalous dimensions of the gluon, Faddeev-Popov ghost and quark in the minimal MOM scheme to five loops for a general colour group when Quantum Chromodynamics is fixed in a linear covariant gauge. The quark mass anomalous…
Linkage is demonstrated between the quark mass, quark condensate and coupling strength in the infrared limit of QCD and in the quark-level linear sigma model.
Recently it was claimed that QCD condensates were associated with the internal dynamics of the hadrons. We challenge this "in-hadron" picture of the QCD condensates and show that it conflicts well established concepts and experimental facts…
Imagine a scenario in which the dark energy forms via the condensation of dark matter at some low redshift. The Compton wavelength therefore changes from small to very large at the transition, unlike quintessence or metamorphosis. We study…
The chiral condensate, which is constant in vacuum, may become spatially modulated at moderately high densities where in the traditional picture of the QCD phase diagram a first-order chiral phase transition occurs. We review the current…
The colored objects -- quarks and gluons -- being confined in a small volume $V\sim R_0^3,$ $R_0\sim 0.5$fm inside the QCD bound state get there not small masses $m_{q\bar q}\sim 1$GeV, $m_g\sim 0.5$GeV. This drastically simplifies the QCD…
In recent years the perturbative expansion of the pressure of massless QCD has been driven to order g^6ln(g) at high temperatures and finite chemical potentials, which has required calculations up to three-loop order in the full theory and…
We construct a low-energy effective theory describing non-Abelian vortices in the color superconducting quark matter under stress. We demonstrate that all the vortices are radically unstable against decay into the only one type of vortices…
Low-energy limit of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is obtained using a mapping theorem recently proved. This theorem states that, classically, solutions of a massless quartic scalar field theory are approximate solutions of Yang-Mills…
We investigate the relationship between colour confinement and the gauge independent Cho-Duan-Ge Abelian decomposition. The decomposition is defined in terms of a colour field $n$; the principle novelty of our study is that we have defined…
We review recent results from lattice on topological aspects of QCD: most of the results refer to monopoles and to instantons. We discuss in detail the evidence for condensation of monopoles in the vacuum and confinement of colour by dual…
We show that at asymptotically high densities the ``color-flavor-locked + neutral kaon condensate'' phase of QCD develops a {\it charged} kaon condensate through the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism. At densities achievable in neutron stars a…
The confinement of coloured entities in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is traced to colour singletness of the observed entities. This is believed to arise from colour singlet state of quark-antiquark for mesons and a fully colour…
The global $SU(3)$ color symmetry and its physical consequences are discussed. The N\"{o}ther current is actually governed by the conserved matter current of color charges if the color field generated by this charge is properly polarized.…
I discuss pion and koan condensation and the the properties of the phases of QCD at finite isospin chemical potential $\mu_I$ and strangeness chemical potential $\mu_S$ at zero temperature using three-flavor chiral perturbation theory.…
Color confinement is one of the central issues in QCD so that there are various interpretations of this feature. In this paper we have adopted the interpretation that colored particles are not subject to observation just because colored…
Utilizing the in-medium Lorentz decomposition of operators generating QCD condensates we derive general constraints among the latter ones by the requirement of a smooth transition from medium to vacuum. In this way we relate the vacuum…
An exact formula is derived for the infrared singularities of dimensionally regularized scattering amplitudes in massless QCD with an arbitrary number of legs, valid at any number of loops. It is based on the conjecture that the…
The mechanism of color confinement has been studied in the framework of SU (3) color gauge theory in terms of abelian fields and monopoles extracted by adopting magnetic symmetry. The existence of the mechanism of color confinement…
