The resolution of Dyson-Schwinger equations leads to the freezing of the QCD running coupling (effective charge) in the infrared, which is best understood as a dynamical generation of a gluon mass function, giving rise to a momentum…
We evaluate a number of new instanton-induced phenomena in QCD, starting with static dipole-dipole potentials, and proceeding to quark-quark and dipole-dipole scattering at high energy. We use a non-perturbative formulation of the…
We study instanton effects in QCD at very high baryon density. In this regime instantons are suppressed by a large power of $(\Lambda_{QCD}/\mu)$, where $\Lambda_{QCD}$ is the QCD scale parameter and $\mu$ is the baryon chemical potential.…

Instantons are the natural mechanism in non-perturbative QCD to remove helicity from valence quarks and transfer it to gluons and quark-antiquark pairs. To understand the extent to which instantons explain the so-called "spin crisis" in the…
