We derive a new form of loop equations for light-like Wilson loops. In bosonic theories those loop equations close only for straight light-like Wilson lines. In the case of N=1 in ten dimensions they close for any light-like Wilson loop.…
We present a systematic study of twist-3 light-cone distribution amplitudes of vector mesons in QCD, which is based on conformal expansion. A complete set of distribution amplitudes is constructed for \rho, \omega, K^* and \phi mesons,…

I discuss the physical picture underlying the evolution equations with Pomeron loops recently derived in multicolor QCD at high energy and qualitatively explain the notion of `self-duality'.
We compute the one-loop anomalous dimension for the light cone distribution function of a heavy quark and solve the corresponding evolution equation analytically. Some implications of the results for inclusive $B$ decays are discussed.
We complete the program of 2012.15792 about perturbative approaches for $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal quiver theories in four dimensions. We consider several classes of observables in presence of Wilson loops, and we evaluate them with the…
We review quark model calculations of the transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs). For the T-even TMDs, we discuss the physical origin of model relations which hold in a large class of quark models. For the T-odd TMDs we…
