The properties of cold and dense quark matter have been the subject of extensive investigation, especially in the last decade. Unfortunately, we still lack of a complete understanding of the properties of matter in these conditions. One…
In the physical vacuum of QCD, the energy density of light-quark fields strongly coupled to slowly varying gluon fields can be negative. The states that drive this energy density lowest are condensates of pairs of quarks and antiquarks of…
Using two-color lattice QCD with Wilson fermions, we report a study of the finite baryon number density system with two-flavors. First we investigate the Polyakov line and thermodynamical uantities in the $(\kappa,\mu)$ plane, where…
We investigate the effects of flavor SU(3)-symmetry breaking on the QCD condensates, based on the nonlocal effective chiral action from the instanton vacuum, focusing on the quark-gluon mixed one. We employ two different parameterizations…
We describe in-medium properties of hadrons in dense matter near chiral restoration using a Wilsonian matching to QCD of an effective field theory with hidden local symmetry at the chiral cutoff $\Lambda$. We find that chiral symmetry is…
We describe the interplay of two nonperturbative phenomena which should take place in the chirally invariant deconfined phase of QCD matter at finite density and T=0: (i) Cooper-pair quark-quark ground-state condensation in appropriate…
We study the flavour singlet mesons from first principles using lattice QCD. We explore the splitting between flavour singlet and non-singlet for vector and axial mesons as well as the more commonly studied cases of the scalar and…
We study on-shell decays of light vector meson resonances $\rho$, $K^*$ and $\phi$ in the framework of chiral constituent quark model using resummation calculations. Such studies are necessary for showing that chiral dynamics works well at…
We generalize the sum rule approach to investigate the nonperturbative structure of QCD at high temperature. Salient features of the QCD phase above $T_c$ are discussed, and included in the form of power corrections or condensate…
If the dual Meissner effect due to abelian monopole condensation is the quark confinement mechanism of QCD as suggested in recent Monte-Carlo simulations of lattice QCD, new axial-vector and scalar bosons with the mass of O(1GeV) would…
We investigate vector meson spectral functions at finite temperature and density through the soft wall model, a bottom-up holographic approach to QCD. We find narrow resonances at small values of the parameters, becoming broader as…
The color number $N_c$-dependence of the interplay between quark-antiquark condensates $<\bar{q}q>$ and diquark condensates $<qq>$ in vacuum in two-flavor four-fermion interaction models is researched. The results show that the $G_S$-$H_S$…
The isospin-breaking vector meson decay constants are determined from a QCD sum rule analysis of the vector current correlator $<O| T(V^3_\mu V^8_\nu)| O>$, using a recently proposed implementation of the finite energy sum rule approach.…
We study Landau gauge gluon propagators in two-color QCD at finite quark chemical potential ($\mu_q$) and temperature ($T$). We include medium polarization effects at one-loop by quarks into massive gluon propagators, and compared the…
We use a variational procedure to study finite density QCD in an approximation in which the interaction between quarks is modelled by that induced by instantons. We find that uniform states with conventional chiral symmetry breaking have…
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…
The low-energy effective theories for the two- and three-flavor color-superconductors arising in the high density limit of QCD are discussed. Using an effective field theory to describe quarks near the fermi surface, we compute the masses…
In a color superconductor the diquark condensates break spontaneously both the color and ordinary electromagnetism, leaving a remanining rotated U(1) symmetry unbroken. The gauge interactions associated to this rotated symmetry may be…
We study the properties of the light vector mesons ($\rho$, $\omega$ and $\phi$) in strange hadronic matter using the QCD sum rule approach. The in-medium masses of the vector mesons are calculated from the modifications of the light quark…
We study SU(2) lattice gauge theory at non-zero chemical potential with one staggered quark flavor in the adjoint representation. In this model the fermion determinant, although real, can be both positive and negative. We have performed…
