We apply strong-coupling perturbation theory to the QCD lattice Hamiltonian. We begin with naive, nearest-neighbor fermions and subsequently break the doubling symmetry with next-nearest-neighbor terms. The effective Hamiltonian is that of…
The Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) coupling, $\alpha_s$, is not a physical observable of the theory since it depends on conventions related to the renormalization procedure. We introduce a definition of the QCD coupling, denoted by…
The QCD coupling $\alpha_s$ is the most important parameter for achieving precise QCD predictions. By using the well measured effective coupling $\alpha^{g_1}_{s}(Q)$ defined from the Bjorken sum rules as a basis, we suggest a novel and…
Non-Abelian gauge theories with fermions transforming in the adjoint representation of the gauge group (AdjQCD) are a fundamental ingredient of many models that describe the physics beyond the Standard Model. Two relevant examples are N=1…

The dimensional reduction, in a form of transition from four to two dimensions, was used in the 90s in a context of HE Regge scattering. Recently, it got a new impetus in quantum gravity where it opens the way to renormalizability and…
The lattice Coulomb-gauge hamiltonian is derived from the transfer matrix of Wilson's Euclidean lattice gauge theory, wherein the lattice form of Gauss's law is satisfied identically. The restriction to a fundamental modular region (no…
Precision tests of QCD perturbation theory are not readily available from experimental data. The main reasons are systematic uncertainties due to the confinement of quarks and gluons, as well as kinematical constraints which limit the…
At very high energies, in the infinite momentum frame and in light cone gauge, a hard scale proportional to the high parton density arises in QCD. In an effective theory of QCD at small $x$, this scale is of order $\alpha_S\mu$, where $\mu$…
