To elucidate the role played by instantons in chiral symmetry breaking, we explore their properties in full QCD, around the critical temperature. We study in particular spatial correlations between low-lying Dirac eigenmodes and instantons.…
In the instanton models the chiral phase transition is driven by a transition from random instanton-antiinstanton liquid and correlated instanton-antiinstanton molecules. So far this phenomenon was studied by numerical simulations, while we…
This paper aims to serve as an introductory resource for disseminating the concept of instanton liquid model to individuals with interests in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) for hadrons. We discuss several topological aspects of the QCD vacuum…
A straightforward algebraic derivation is carried out of light quark propagator and effective action in the instanton-anti-instanton molecule. Exact expressions are obtained which contain contributions of all quark modes. Possible…
We study correlation functions and Bethe Salpeter amplitudes for the scalar, the pseudoscalar and the tensor glueballs using an instanton-based model of the QCD vacuum. We consider both the pure gauge case and the situation for real QCD…
We report on the interesting possibility of instanton-driven gluon saturation in lepton-nucleon scattering at small Bjorken-x. Our results crucially involve non-perturbative information from high-quality lattice simulations. The…
We show that instanton calculations in QCD become theoretically well defined in the gluon saturation environment which suppresses large size instantons. The effective cutoff scale is determined by the inverse of the saturation scale. We…
We consider the finite density, zero-temperature behaviour of quark matter in the instanton picture. Since the instanton-induced interactions are attractive in both $\bar{q}q$ and $qq$ channels, a competition ensues between phases of matter…
We summarize recent developments in our understanding of low-mass quark-antiquark excitations in hadronic matter under various different conditions. This includes the thermodynamics of the chiral condensate, pions as Goldstone bosons in…
The spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry (SBCS) is one of the most important phenomena of hadron physics. It defines the properties of all the light mesons and baryons. The Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) encodes QCD hadronic…
The properties of the light vector mesons in the presence of local parity breaking medium with a chiral imbalance are considered in the vector-meson dominance model. Applying the finite lowest-order radiatively induced local effective…
Instanton effects may have implications for hadronization of quark-gluon plasma as it cools. Here we study dispersion relations of mesons in a strongly coupled plasma with an instanton background present. It will be shown that at higher…
We perform an explicit calculation of the lowest order effects of single eigenvalue instantons on the continuous sector of the collective field theory derived from a $d=1$ bosonic matrix model. These effects consist of certain induced…
QCD instantons are known to produce deeply bound diquarks. We study whether it may be used as building blocks in the formation of multiquark states, in particular pentaquarks and dibaryons. A simple model is presented in which the lowest…
Starting from the approximate symmetries of QCD, namely chiral symmetry for light quarks and spin and flavor symmetry for heavy quarks, we investigate the low-energy properties of heavy hadrons. For this purpose we construct a consistent…
In this work we study the low energy kaon-hyperon interaction considering effective chiral Lagrangians that include kaons, $\sigma$ mesons, hyperons and the corresponding resonances. We calculate the scattering amplitudes, and then the…
We use an optimised clover action to study spectroscopy on an instanton ensemble reconstructed from smoothed Monte Carlo configurations. Due to the better chirality of the clover action, the artificial configurations show a marked…
New results on baryon structure and spectrum developed in collaboration with Dan Riska [1-4] are reported. The main idea is that beyond the chiral symmetry spontaneous breaking scale light and strange baryons should be considered as systems…

The spinless Salpeter equation supplemented by an instanton induced force is used to describe the spectra of light mesons, including the pseudoscalar ones. The coupling constants of the instanton induced potential, as well as the quark…
