In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of the confinement-deconfinement phase transition in a toy model where the walking dynamics is realized perturbatively. We study the properties of the phase transition focusing on the possible…
An overview is given of different approaches to describing the process of deconfinement in quantum chromodynamics. The analysis of the known approaches demonstrates that the detailed picture of how deconfinement really occurs has not yet…

I review the progress made in recent years with functional methods in our understanding of the QCD phase diagram. In particular I discuss a renormalisation group approach to QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential. Results include…

We examine several well known quantum spin models and categorize behavior of pairwise entanglement at quantum phase transitions. A unified picture on the connection between the entanglement and quantum phase transition is given.
The techniques are discussed by which the order of the deconfining phase transition is investigated on the lattice. QCD with $N_f=2$ is a special case, which can provide information on the mechanism of confinement.
I present an outline of chiral perturbation theory and discuss some recent developments in the field.
A brief and biased overview of the phenomenon of confinement in QCD is presented in three parts: (1) the definition of confinement, (2) properties of confinement, (3) ideas of confinement. The second part chiefly consists of a brief review…

A few aspects of the mechanism of confinement of color by monopole condensation are reviewed.
The status of our understanding of confinement is reviewed. The evidence from lattice is that monopole condensation, or dual superconductivity, is at work. Confinement is an order-disorder transition. Different monopole species look…
Cavitation is a process where the viscous terms in a relativistic fluid result in reducing the effective pressure, thus facilitating the nucleation of bubbles of a stable phase. The effect is particularly pronounced in the vicinity of a…
The past few years have seen remarkable progress in the theory and phenomenology of QCD, bringing perturbative and nonperturbative methods into closer contact with each other and with experiment.
Some basic features of confinement are reviewed, in particular the symmetry patterns of the dual dynamics. Open problems and possible directions of progress are discussed.
A Procedure is outlined that may be used as a starting point for a perturbative treatment of theories with permanent confinement. By using a counter term in the Lagrangian that renormalizes the infrared divergence in the Coulomb potential,…
A simple closed form expression is obtained for the scattering phase shift perturbatively to any given order in effective one-dimensional problems. The result is a hierarchical scheme, expressible in quadratures, requiring only knowledge of…
