Spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry is investigated in the Hamiltonian approach to QCD in Coulomb gauge. The quark wave functional is determined by the variational principle using an ansatz which goes beyond the commonly used BCS-type…
We investigate the formation of bound states of non-relativistic dark matter particles subject to long-range interactions through radiative capture. The initial scattering and final bound states are described by Coulomb potentials with…
The parametrized Dirac wave equation represents position and time as operators, and can be formulated for many particles. It thus provides, unlike field-theoretic Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), an elementary and unrestricted representation…
We develop a continuum theory to model low energy excitations of a generic four-band time reversal invariant electronic system with boundaries. We propose a variational energy functional for the wavefunctions which allows us derive natural…

We extend our treatment of the the spectroscopy and decays of the charm-strange quarkonium system to include the effect of using the full three-loop QCD correction to the static short distance potential. As before, our potential model…
A distinct feature of Coulomb gauge QCD is that it can be formulated in terms of physical, transverse gluons and quarks alone. The state-counting is then transparent, and the gauge is suited for studies of the excited spectrum. Leaving…
Non-relativistic bound state theories for QED and QCD have become fairly mature and amenable to a textbook-level understanding and computation. In this talk we give an introductory review of the following subjects related to the recent…
The variational approach to Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge is extended to full QCD. For the quark sector we use a trial wave functional, which goes beyond the previously used BCS-type state and which explicitly contains the coupling of…
We discuss the properties of bound states in finite-bandwidth waveguide QED beyond the Rotating Wave Approximation or excitation number conserving light-matter coupling models. Therefore, we extend the \emph{standard} calculations to a…
We explore an ansatz for the QCD vacuum in the Coulomb gauge that describes gauge field fluctuations in presence of a weakly interacting gas of abelian monopoles. Such magnetic disorder leads to long-range correlations which are manifested…
In this contribution to the proceedings, we analyze the transition from perturbative and non- perturbative QCD embedded in the coupling constant. In the study of quark-hadron duality, we suggest that the realization of the latter is related…
For the first time the exact analytical expressions for the three-dimensional bound electron states in the Coulomb field of the chain consisting of positively charged ions, are obtained within the Dirac description, using the new spinor…
The eigenvalue absorption for a many-particle Hamiltonian depending on a parameter is analyzed in the framework of non--relativistic quantum mechanics. The long--range part of pair potentials is assumed to be pure Coulomb and no restriction…
We establish a relation between the solution of a relativistic bound state equation in quantum mechanics and the field representation of a bound state with the aid of creation and annihilation operators. We show that a bound system can be…
The gauge-invariance properties and singularity elimination of the modified perturbation theory for QCD introduced in previous works, are investigated. The construction of the modified free propagators is generalized to include the…
In this manuscript, we study the relativistic quantum mechanics of an electron in external fields in the spinning cosmic string spacetime. We obtain the Dirac equation, write the first and second-order equations from it, and then we solve…
We solve the Faddeev bound-state equations for three particles with simple two-body nonlocal, separable potentials that yield a scattering length twice as large as a positive effective range, as indicated by some lattice QCD simulations.…
