The main aspects of a gauge-invariant approach to the description of quark dynamics in the nonperturbative regime of QCD are first reviewed. In particular, the role of the parallel transport operation in constructing gauge-invariant Green's…
We present the results of our perturbative calculations of the static quark potential, small Wilson loops, the static quark self energy, and the mean link in Landau gauge. These calculations are done for the one loop Symanzik improved gluon…
Polyakov loop correlations at finite temperature in two-flavor QCD are studied in lattice simulations with the RG-improved gluon action and the clover-improved Wilson quark action. From the simulations on a $16^3 \times 4$ lattice, we…
QCD is investigated at finite temperature using Wilson fermions in the fixed scale approach. A 2+1 flavor stout and clover improved action is used at four lattice spacings allowing for control over discretization errors. The light quark…
QCD is not an approximately scale invariant theory. Hence a dilaton field is not expected to provide a good description of the low-energy dynamics associated with the gluon condensate. Even if such a field is introduced, it remains almost…
We have simulated QCD using 2+1 flavors of domain wall quarks on a $(2.74 {\rm fm})^3$ volume with an inverse lattice scale of $a^{-1} = 1.729(28)$ GeV. The up and down (light) quarks are degenerate in our calculations and we have used four…

We introduce a two-flavor quark-meson-diquark model for two-color QCD and its extensions to include gauge-field dynamics as described by the Polakov loop. Grand potential and phase structure are being studied both in mean-field…
We calculate the quark contribution to the free energy of a hot quark-gluon plasma to two-loop order using hard-thermal-loop (HTL) perturbation theory. All ultraviolet divergences can be absorbed into renormalizations of the vacuum energy…
We propose to calculate the gluon condensate in lattice QCD in an indirect way by extracting it from the correlator of hadronic currents of heavy quarks. Moments (derivatives with respect to momentum at vanishing momentum) of the vector and…
We investigate the quantum properties of the truly gauge-invariant and conserved charges of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theories, focusing on lattice QCD in the strong coupling regime. The construction of those charges uses the integral…
We construct a lattice theory with one exact supersymmetry which consists of fields transforming in both the adjoint and fundamental representations of a U(Nc) gauge group. In addition to gluons and gluinos, the theory contains Nf flavors…
We give another derivation of quark confinement in QCD from the viewpoint of the low-energy effective Abelian gauge theory of QCD obtained via Abelian projection. It is based on the recently discovered Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase…
The nonperturbative vacuum structure which emerges from the zero modes enhancement (ZME) model of the true QCD vacuum, appears to be well suited to describe quark confinement, dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB), current-effective…
We calculate the perturbative value of the free energy in Lattice QCD, up to three loops. Our calculation is performed using Wilson gluons and the Sheikholeslami - Wolhert (clover) improved action for fermions. The free energy is directly…
Using the Dyson-Schwinger approach we investigate Landau gauge QCD with a relatively large number of chiral quark flavours. A self-consistent treatment on the propagator level enables us to study unquenching effects via the quark loop…
