We present results on the spin carried by quarks and gluons in the nucleon using lattice QCD simulations with physical values of the light, strange and charm quark masses. We also discuss selective results on the x-dependence of parton…

We introduce the vector meson $\omega$ into the Quark Meson model, and study the impact of vector interactions on the properties of static hadrons using the mean-field approximation. The short-range repulsive force associated with vector…

Deep inelastic structure functions for the nucleon are obtained in a constituent quark model on the light cone. In the Bjorken limit the parton model is derived. Structure functions from the hadronic tensor at the scale $\mu \sim 0.25$ GeV…
Dyson-Schwinger equations furnish a Poincare' covariant approach to hadron physics. They reveal that dynamical chiral symmetry breaking is tied to the long-range behaviour of the strong interaction and make predictions corroborated by…

Within the framework of the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equation, we present a detailed analysis of light meson spectra with respect to various parameterizations of confinement in Dirac space. Assuming a linearly rising quark-antiquark…
We compute masses of positive parity spin-$1/2$ and $3/2$ baryons composed of $u$, $d$, $s$, $c$ and $b$ quarks in a quark-diaquark picture. The mathematical foundation for this analysis is implemented through a symmetry-preserving…
In this talk I briefly review the theory of resonances dynamically generated from hadron-hadron scattering, sometimes referred to as "molecules"S. I give some classical examples of meson-meson and meson-baryon systems, as well as a few…
We address and solve the long-standing gauge-invariance problem of the nucleon spin structure. Explicitly gauge-invariant spin and orbital angular momentum operators of quarks and gluons are obtained. This was previously thought to be an…
We present the first Dyson-Schwinger equation calculation of the light hadron spectrum that simultaneously correlates the masses of meson and baryon ground- and excited-states within a single framework. At the core of our analysis is a…
After giving a short introduction to the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with an anomaly term, we show the importance of the scalar-scalar correlation in the low-energy hadron dynamics, which correlation may be summarized by a scalar-isoscalar…
We discuss that some light baryon resonances exhibit properties which cannot be described when attributing a three-valence quark structure to them. Besides pointing out the hadron resonances which clearly require description beyond the…
We summarize recent progress in soft QCD modeling based on the set of Dyson--Schwinger equations truncated to ladder-rainbow level. This covariant approach to hadron physics accommodates quark confinement and implements the QCD one-loop…
Pseudospin symmetry in nuclei is investigated by solving the Dirac equation with Woods-Saxon scalar and vector radial potentials, and studying the correlation of the energy splittings of pseudospin partners with the nuclear potential…
