We show how it is possible to define and compute the potential between $q$ and $\bar q$ external sources in the singlet and octet (adjoint) representation of the colour group.
We report the results of recent lattice simulations aimed at computing the $q$ and $\bar q$ potential energies in the singlet and the octet (adjoint) representation.

We study the three-quark static potential in perturbation theory in QCD. A complete next-to-leading order calculation is performed in the singlet, octets and decuplet channels and the potential exponentiation is demonstrated. The mixing of…

We study the pair description of heavy tetraquark systems $|QQ\bar Q \bar Q\rangle$ in the frame of a non-relativistic potential model. By taking the two heavy quark pairs $(Q\bar Q)$ as colored clusters, the four-quark Schr\"odinger…
A scheme is developed which shows how one would, given a light-front Hamiltonian for QCD, extract the $Q\overline{Q}$ potential, i.e. the quantity which corresponds to the potential between two infinitely heavy quarks in a rest frame, from…
We calculate the potential between adjoint sources in $SU(2)$ pure gauge theory in three dimensions. We investigate whether the potential saturates at large separations due to the creation of a pair of gluelumps, colour-singlet states…

We evaluate the static $qq\bar{q}\bar{q}$ and $qqqq\bar{q}$ potentials in the quenched theory at $\beta=5.8$ and $\beta=6.0$ on a lattice of size $16^3\times 32$. We compare the static potentials to the sum of two meson potentials for the…

We compute the potential between a $q{\bar q}$ singlet for ${\cal N}=4$ $SUSY$ with gauge group $SU(N)$ at finite temperature $T$, large distances $rT \gg 1$ and weak coupling $g$. As a first step, we only consider at the electric modes and…
Quarks and antiquarks carry color and electric charges and belong to the color-triplet $3$ group and the color-antitriplet $\bar 3$ group respectively. The product groups of $3$ and $\bar 3$ consist of the color-singlet $1$ and the…
An algorithm to simulate full QCD with 3 colours at nonzero chemical potential on the lattice is proposed. The algorithm works for small values of the chemical potential and can be used to extract expectation values of CPT invariant…
We develop a calculational scheme in Coulomb and temporal gauge that respects gauge invariance and is most easily applied to the infrared asymptotic region of QCD. It resembles the Dyson-Schwinger equations of Euclidean quantum field theory…
In this letter, we extend the known results for the QCD potential between a static quark and its antiquark by computing the two-loop corrections to the colour-octet state.
