Spectral properties of hadrons in nuclear matter are treated in the framework of QCD sum rules. The influence of the ambient strongly interacting medium is encoded in various condensates. Especially, the structure of different four-quark…
Applying the Hellmann-Feynman theorem to a charged pion gas, the quark and gluon condensates at low isospin density are determined by precise pion properties. At intermediate density around $ f_\pi^2m_\pi$, from both the estimation for the…
QCD, the theory of the strong interactions, involves quarks interacting with non-Abelian gluon fields. This theory has many features that are difficult to impossible to see in conventional diagrammatic perturbation theory. This includes…
In a style of popular article, we discuss models of hadronic structure and their relation with models of the QCD vacuum and lattice simulations. Borrowing two main characters from G.Gamow, Mr.Thompson and Professor, we make a travel in the…
The scalar confinement in QCD is shown to produce the nonzero quark condensate for any current quark mass. Mechanisms for the Chiral Symmetry breaking and for the nonzero quark condensates are revealed. For the light and strange flavors the…
I propose that the properties of QCD perturbation theory should be investigated when the boundary state (`perturbative vacuum') at $t= \pm\infty$ includes gluons. Any boundary state that has an overlap with the true QCD ground state…
Ideas about a duality between gauge fields and strings have been around for many decades. During the last ten years, these ideas have taken a much more concrete mathematical form. String descriptions of the strongly coupled dynamics of…
This review deals with the structure of hadrons, strongly interacting many-body systems consisting of quarks and gluons. These systems have a size of about 1 fm, which shows up in scattering experiments at low momentum transfers $Q$ in the…
This is a brief summary of recent works on the possibility of vacuum condensate of mass dimension 2 in Yang-Mills theory as the gluon sector of QCD. In particular, I discuss the physical implications due to this condensate, especially, for…
Chiral condensates in the trivial light-cone vacuum emerge if defined as short-time limits of fermion propagators. In gauge theories, the necessary inclusion of a gauge string in combination with the characteristic light-cone infrared…

2-color QCD (quantum chromodynamics with N_c=2) at finite temperature T and chemical potential \mu is revisited in the strong coupling limit on the lattice with staggered fermions. The phase structure in the space of T, \mu, and the quark…
We develop simple analytic representations of the polarized quark and gluon distributions in the nucleon at low $Q^2$ which incorporate general constraints obtained from the requirements of color coherence of gluon couplings at $x \sim 0$…
It is essential to know the space-time structure of the nonlocal vacuum condensates for application to medium energy processes. Using the Dyson-Schwinger formalism in the rainbow approximation for the quark propagator, we study the nonlocal…
An expression for the photon condensate in quantum electrodynamics is presented and generalized to deduce a simple relation between the gluon condensate and the running coupling constant of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Ambiguities in…
We obtain the QCD quark condensate from consideration of unquenched quark dynamics in Dyson-Schwinger gluon vacuum. We consider the non-local extension of the condensate and determine the quark virtuality. We also obtain the…
The non-local vacuum condensates of QCD describe the distributions of quarks and gluons in the non-perturbative QCD vacuum. Physically, this means that vacuum quarks and gluons have nonzero mean-squared momentum, called virtuality. In this…
Singular gauge fields in the partition function for QCD can lead to a domain-like picture for the QCD vacuum by virtue of constraints on quantum fluctuations at the singularities. With a simple model of hyperspherical domains with interiors…
Quark confinement and the genesis of the constituent quark model are examined in nonperturbative QCD in Coulomb gauge. We employ a self-consistent method to construct a quasiparticle basis and to determine the quasiparticle interaction. 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…
