We give a method for obtaining states of massive particle representations of the two-parameter deformation of the Poincar\'e algebra proposed in q-alg/9601010, q-alg/9505030 and q-alg/9501026. We discuss four procedures to generate…
A quark model, which reproduces the ground-state mesons and baryons, i.e., the threshold energies, is applied to the $qqqc\bar c$ configurations, where $q$ is a light quark and~$c$ the charmed quark. In the calculation, several open…
The structure of the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter at moderate densities is calculated within a 3-flavor NJL-type quark model with realistic quark masses. We focus on the influence of the selfconsistently determined effective…
Analysing two models of four-quark interactions which are of intrinsic difference in the behaviours of their correlation lengths some issues of quark condensations are considered. It is demonstrated that the quark condensates substantially…
The interplay of pairing and other interactions is addressed in this work using a simple single-j model. We show that enhancements in pairing correlations observed through studies of the spectra of deformed systems, moments of inertia,…
In a separate paper we have discussed the possibility that six quark clusters can affect the rate of double-beta decay. In this article we develop the formalism needed in the evaluation of the energy of all six-quark cluster configurations,…
We introduce a novel semiclassical approach to the Lipkin model. In this way the well-known phase transition arising at the critical value of the coupling is intuitively understood. New results -- showing for strong couplings the existence…
A complication in the treatment of any strongly charged particle is the SU(3) color structure. For the standard model quarks antiquarks and gluons there are various well-known strategies for dealing with the color structure, including…
QCD instantons are known to produce deeply bound diquarks which may be used as building blocks in the formation of multiquark states, in particular pentaquarks and dibaryons. We suggest a simple model in which the lowest scalar diquark (and…
In the framework of the color-magnetic interaction model, we have systematically calculated the mass splittings for the S-wave triply heavy pentaquark states with the configuration $qqQQ\bar{Q}$ $(Q=c,b;q=u,d,s)$. Their masses are estimated…
The quantum-mechanical many-body system with the potential proportional to the pairwise inverse-square distance possesses a strong-weak coupling duality. Based on this duality, particle and/or quasiparticle states are described as SU(1,1)…
We study the properties of the colour triplet qqqbar quark cluster when flavour symmetry is broken. The relevance of such a cluster for some models of pentaquarks is then examined in the light of recent experimental signals.
Using full 3+1 dimensional general-relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of equal- and unequal-mass neutron-star binaries with properties that are consistent with those inferred from the inspiral of GW170817, we perform a detailed study of…
We present results on the renormalized quark-anti-quark free energy in SU(3) gauge theory at finite temperatures. We discuss results for the singlet, octet and colour averaged free energies and comment on thermal relations which allow to…
We employ the Boltzmann equation for describing hadron production from a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. We propose resonance formation in quark-antiquark scattering as the dominant meson-production…
Multiquark states have been advocated to explain recent experimental data in the heavy-light sector, and there are already speculations about multiquarks containing only heavy quarks and antiquarks. With a rigorous treatment of the…
In addition to the conventional $q\bar{q}$ and $qqq$ bound states of quarks $q$, exotic hadrons, such as the four-quark $q\bar{q}q\bar{q}$ and the five-quark $qqqq\bar{q}$ bound states, can be constructed by assuming colour confinement in…
We study a quenched SU(2) lattice gauge theory in 4d in which the spatial gauge ensemble $\{U_i\}$ is generated from a 3d gauge-Higgs model and the timelike link variables are ``reconstructed'' from the Higgs fields. The resulting ensemble…
The phenomenology of hadronic states at high energy is well described in the framework of Quantum Chromodynamics. The theory, well established by now, cannot be applied to the description of quark-antiquark states at low energy unless their…
The excitation of semiconductor quantum dots often involves an attached wetting layer with delocalized single-particle energy eigenstates. These wetting-layer states are usually approximated by (orthogonalized) plane waves. We show that…
