We find exactly solvable dilaton gravity theories containing a U(1) gauge field in two dimensional space-time. The classical general solutions for the gravity sector (the metric plus the dilaton field) of the theories coupled to a massless…
We review the phenomenological and theoretical evidences for dynamical gluon mass generation and the main features of the glueball spectrum in (pure gauge) Yang-Mills theories. The mixing between glueball and conventional $\bar q q$ states…
We discuss states in the meson spectrum which have explicit gluonic components. Glueballs (with no valence quarks) and hybrid mesons (with valence quarks) are both reviewed. We present in some detail lattice simulation results. ( to appear…
A Reply to "Comment on `Finding the $0^{--}$ Glueball' " [arXiv:1702.06634] and comment on `Is the exotic $0^{--}$ glueball a pure gluon state?' [arXiv:1611.08698]
The Schwinger-Dyson Bethe-Salpeter approach to the bound state problem is applied to the spin zero glueball spectrum. Although a moderately successful description of the two point functions and the glueball spectrum can be obtained, further…
In this contribution we present results of the calculations of several hadronic spectra within the holographic graviton soft-wall (GSW) model. In particular, we studied and compared with data for the ground state and excitations of:…
Glueballs and other resonances with large gluonic components are predicted as bound states by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The lightest (scalar) glueball is estimated to have a mass in the range from 1 to 2 GeV/c**2; a pseudoscalar and…
We calculate the spectrum of glueball masses in non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in three and four dimensions, based on a conjectured duality between supergravity and large N gauge theories. The glueball masses are obtained by solving…
We calculate the glueball spectrum for spin up to J=4 and positive charge parity in pure Yang-Mills theory. We construct the full bases for J=0,1,2,3,4 and discuss the relation to gauge invariant operators. Using a fully self-contained…

Various interpretations of the Riemann Curvature Tensor, Ricci Tensor, and Scalar Curvature are described. Also, the physical meanings of the Einstein Tensor and Einstein's Equations are discussed. Finally a derivation of Newtonian Gravity…
We study the spectra of two-gluon glueballs and three-gluon oddballs and corresponding equation of state in $5$-dimensional deformed holographic QCD models in the graviton-dilaton system, where the metric, the dilaton field and dilaton…
This an expository article on Givental's axiomatic Gromov--Witten theory and some of its applications.
In a recent paper, Witten proposed a surprising connection between perturbative gauge theory and a certain topological model in twistor space. In particular, he showed that gluon amplitudes are localized on holomorphic curves. In this note…
This is a pedagogical introduction to original Kaluza-Klein theory and its salient features. Most of the technical calculations are given in detail and the nature of gravitons is discussed.
Recently Buniy and Kephart made an astonishing empirical observation, which anyone can reproduce at home. Measure the {\it lengths} of closed knots tied from ordinary rope. The ``double do-nut'', and the beautiful trefoil knot are examples.…
We prove a theorem in QCD stating that in the limit of strong coupling, $g\to\infty$, the observed spectrum of glueballs in QCD is the same of a pure Yang-Mills theory, being mixing effects due to the next-to-leading order. A full effective…

We present unitarity as a method for determining the infinities present in graviton scattering amplitudes. The infinities are a combination of IR and UV. By understanding the soft singularities we may extract the UV infinities and relate…
Arguments are given that support the interpretation of the lattice QCD glueball and gluelump spectra in terms of bound states of massless constituent gluons with helicity-1. In this scheme, the mass hierarchy of the currently known…
