Starting from the QCD Lagrangian we derive the effective action for massive quark and antiquark at large distances, corresponding to the minimal area low of the Wilson loop. The path integral method is used to quantize the system and the…
I consider two cases where QCD string is described by an effective theory of long strings: the static potential and meson scattering amplitudes in the Regge regime. I show how they can be solved in the mean-field approximation, justified by…

Our results on obtaining the Regge trajectory of a resonance from its pole in a scattering process and from analytic constraints in the complex angular momentum plane are presented. The method, suited for resonances that dominate an elastic…
The special case of 4D string-like theory proposed early is investigated. Regge trajectories in the developed model are non-linear for small masses and the values of spin and have the different asymptotical slopes $\alpha_p$. The value…
The hypothesis of the quark Reggeization is tested by taking the high-energy limit of the two-loop amplitude for quark-gluon scattering which was recently calculated. The limit is compatible with the Reggeization in the leading and the…
We apply methods developed by Lovelace, Lipatov and Kirschner to evaluate the leading Regge trajectories \alpha(t) with the quantum numbers of nonexotic quark-antiquark mesons at N_c = infinity and in the limit of t going to minus infinity.…

We study the properties of the leading Regge trajectory in open string theory including the open string planar one-loop corrections. With SU(N) Chan-Paton factors, the sum over planar open string multi-loop diagrams describes the 't Hooft…
We study the path integral over reparametrizations that has been proposed as an ansatz for the Wilson loops in the large-$N$ QCD and reproduces the area law in the classical limit of large loops. We show that a semiclassical expansion for a…
We study the decay of hadrons based on a semiclassical string model. By including quark mass effects we find that the width to mass ratio $\G/m$ is an increasing function of $m$, which increases most rapidly for massive quarks. This is…
