We represent QCD at the hadronic scale by means of an effective Hamiltonian, H, formulated in the Coulomb gauge. As in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, chiral symmetry is dynamically broken, however our approach is renormalizable and also…
Based on a $3\times3$ mass matrix describing the mixing of the scalar states $f_0(1370)$, $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$, the hadronic decays of the three states are investigated. Taking into account the two possible assumptions concerning the…
The spectrum of two-particle bound states is investigated within a relativistic quantum-field model of interacting quarks and gluons confined analytically. The hadronization process of mesons and glueballs is described by using the…

We perform a calculation of the glueball spectrum for $N_f=4$ degenerate dynamical fermions with masses corresponding to light pions. We do so by making use of ensembles produced within the framework of maximally twisted fermions by the…
Monte Carlo results for the low-lying glueball spectrum using an improved, anisotropic action are presented. Ten simulations at lattice spacings ranging from 0.2 to 0.4 fm and two different anisotropies have been performed in order…
A comprehensive, relativistic many-body approach to hadron structure is advanced based on the Coulomb gauge QCD Hamiltonian. Our method incorporates standard many-body techniques which render the approximations amenable to systematic…
We study the interactions of the pseudoscalar glueball with scalar and pseudoscalar quark-antiquark meson fields and with the nucleon and its chiral partner. In both cases we introduce the corresponding chiral Lagrangian and discuss its…
The three-gluon glueball states are studied with the generalization of a semirelativistic potential model giving good results for two-gluon glueballs. The Hamiltonian depends only on 3 parameters fixed on two-gluon glueball spectra: the…
Our current knowledge about glueballs and hybrid mesons from lattice QCD simulations is briefly reviewed.
Glueball spectrum is studied using an improved gluonic action on asymmetric lattices in the pure SU(3) gauge theory. The smallest spatial lattice spacing is about $0.08fm$ which makes the extrapolation to the continuum limit more reliable.…
In this work we use a mapping technique to derive in the context of a constituent gluon model an effective Hamiltonian that involves explicit gluon degrees of freedom. We study glueballs with two gluons using the Fock-Tani formalism. In the…
We study the three-flavor chirally and dilatation invariant extended Linear Sigma Model with (pseudo)scalar and (axial-)vector mesons as well as a scalar dilaton field whose excitations are interpreted as a glueball. The model successfully…
We briefly review the computational strategy we have recently introduced for computing glueball masses and matrix elements, which achieves an exponential reduction of statistical errors compared to standard techniques. The global symmetries…
We investigate the masses of 0+ and 2+ glueballs in SU(2) lattice gauge theory using abelian projection to the maximum abelian gauge. We calculate glueball masses using both abelian links and monopole operators. Both methods reproduce the…
We present preliminary results from a high statistics study of 2-color QCD at low temperature and non-zero baryon density. The simulations are carried out on a 6^3*12 lattice and use a standard hybrid molecular dynamics algorithm for…
In our phenomenological analysis of the spectroscopy of light scalar mesons we do not find compelling evidence for the existence of the low mass \kappa(900) or \sigma(600) states nor for f_0(1370) as single resonance. If the f_0(980) and…
Theoretical ideas related to the existence of glueballs in QCD are reviewed. These include non-perturbative phenomena such as confinement, instantons, vacuum condensates and renormalons. We also discuss glueball dominance of the trace of…
We give an overview of results for the quenched glueball spectrum from two-body bound state equations based on the 3PI effective action. The setup, which uses self-consistently calculated two- and three-point functions as input, is…
We provide a new, independent, and analytic estimate of the lowest glueball mass, and we found it at 1661 MeV within a relativistic quantum-field model based on analytic confinement. The conventional mesons and the weak decay constants are…
