The SU(3)_flavor constituent quark model has been quite successful to explain the properties as well as the observed spectrum of mesons with pseudoscalar and vector quantum numbers. Many radial and orbital excitations of quark-antiquark…
We discuss the dynamics of a quintessence model involving two coupled scalar fields. The model presents two types of solutions, namely solutions that correspond to eternal and transient acceleration of the universe. In both cases, we obtain…
We investigate a coupled quintessence cosmological model in which a dark-energy scalar field with an exponential potential interacts directly with a dark-matter fluid through a dissipative term inspired by warm inflation. The evolution…
The difficulty of describing the gauge dependent bi-quark condensate in the QCD colour superconducting phase has made it hard to construct a holographic dual of the state. To side step this problem, we argue that near the chiral restoration…
We use recent experimental data on charmed mesons to constrain three coupling constants in the effective lagrangian describing the interactions of excited heavy-light mesons with light pseudoscalar mesons at order $m_Q^{-1}$. Predictions in…
The surprising thing is that the light scalar meson problem, arising 50 years ago from the linear sigma model (LSM) with spontaneously broken chiral symmetry, has become central in the nonperturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD), because…
We review the results of large scale simulations of noncompact quenched $QED$ which use spectrum and Equation of State calculations to determine the theory's phase diagram, critical indices, and continuum limit. The resulting anomalous…
We propose a framework for the low-energy realization of supersymmetry which is very predictive, but differs radically in its phenomenological implications from the supersymmetric Standard Model (minimal or otherwise). The proposal consists…
The excitation spectrum of light mesons, which are composed of up, down, and strange quarks, is studied since decades. However, it still holds a number of puzzles and surprises that provide new insights into the nature of the strong…
Amongst the bound states produced by the strong interaction, radially excited meson and nucleon states offer an important phenomenological window into the long-range behavior of the coupling constant in Quantum Chromodynamics. We here…
Motivated by phenomenological models of hidden local symmetries and the ideas of dimensional deconstruction and gauge/gravity duality, we consider the model of an "open moose". Such a model has a large number K of hidden gauge groups as…
Despite decades of research, we still lack a detailed quantitative understanding of the way quantum chromodynamics (QCD) generates the spectrum of hadrons. Precise experimental studies of the hadron excitation spectrum and the dynamics of…
A QCD inspired relativistic effective Hamiltonian model for the bound states of mesons has been constructed, which integrates the advantages of several QCD effective Hamiltonian models. Based on light-front QCD effective Hamiltonian model,…
The AdS/QCD models are known to be tightly related with the QCD sum rules in the large-Nc (called also planar) limit. Rewriting the theory of infinite tower of free stable mesons expected in the large-Nc QCD as a five-dimensional theory we…
The paper proposes a novel cosmological model based on a two-field scenario, where the two fields are independently coupled with a specific invariant, based on cubic contractions of the Riemann tensor. After obtaining the modified Friedmann…
We study the properties of the colour-singlet compound states of reggeized gluons in multi-colour QCD. Applying the methods of integrable models, we calculate their spectrum and discuss the application of the obtained results to high-energy…
The behaviour of the master field in ``induced QCD" near the edge of its support is studied. An extended scaling domain, where the shape of the master field is a universal function, is found. This function is determined explicitly for the…
We present in this talk a recent investigation on a unified approach within the framework of a hard-wall model of AdS/QCD. We first study a theoretical inconsistency in existing models. In order to remove this inconsistency, we propose a…
Recent developments provided evidence that the dimension 2 gluon condensate <A^2> is important for the nonperturbative regime of Yang-Mills theories (quantized in the Landau gauge). We show that it may be relevant for the Dyson-Schwinger…
The axion-gluon coupling is the defining feature of the QCD axion. This feature induces additional and qualitatively different interactions of the axion with standard model particles -- quadratic couplings. Previously, hadronic quadratic…
