The interaction of a jet with the medium created in heavy-ion collisions is not yet fully understood from a QCD perspective. This is mainly due to the non-perturbative nature of this interaction which affects both transverse jet momentum…

Motivated by the new results obtained in heavy-ion collision experiments at the LHC, several extensions of the standard calculations of energy loss have been made recently. In this manuscript, I provide a short overview of some of the…
Using gauge/gravity duality, we compute jet quenching parameter in confined and deconfined phases of noncommutative Sakai-Sugimoto model. In the confined phase jet quenching parameter is zero and noncommutativity does not affect it. In…
We define the non-perturbative part of a quantity as the difference between its numerical value and the perturbative series truncated by dropping the order of minimal contribution and the higher orders. For the anharmonic oscillator, the…

Jet quenching studies play a prominent role in our current understanding of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. In this review I first present the available formalism to compute medium-induced gluon radiation. Then I discuss its effect…

In gauge theories, charged particles obey modified dispersion due to medium interactions (forward scattering), leading at high energies $E \geq T$ to an asymptotic mass-squared $m^2_\infty$. We calculate the infrared part of this mass…
I discuss some non-perturbative aspects of hot gauge theories as related to the unscreened static magnetic interactions. I first review some of the infrared divergences which cause the breakdown of the perturbation theory. Then I show that…

Here we examine the noncommutative counterpart of QED, which is called as noncommutative QED. The theory is obtained by examining the consistent minimal coupling to noncommutative U(1) gauge field. The *-product admits the coupling of the…
We summarize the most important arguments why a perturbative description of finite-temperature QCD is unlikely to be possible and review various well-established approaches to deal with this problem. Then, using a recently proposed method,…

Evidence is reviewed suggesting that QCD remains a perturbative theory with a (relatively) small coupling constant down to a distinct infrared boundary on perturbative physics, a boundary corresponding to the momentum scale associated with…
Jet quenching parameter $\hat{q}$ is essential for characterizing the interaction strength between jet partons and nuclear matter. Based on the quark-meson (QM) model, we develop a new framework for calculating $\hat{q}$ at finite chemical…
