We investigate the contribution that instantons make to the QCD chiral condensate for Nf= 0, 1 and 2 quark flavours. We use a simplified model: the instantons are a (weighted) gas, the fermionic integrations are restricted to the subspace…
We exploit a recent lattice investigation (UKQCD) on the topological structure of the (quenched) QCD vacuum, in order to gain information on crucial building blocks of instanton perturbation theory. A central motivation is to further…

We briefly report on the contribution of QCD-instantons to the phenomenon of saturation in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) at small Bjorken-x. The explicitly known instanton gauge field serves as a concrete realization of an underlying…
In the instanton models the chiral phase transition is driven by a transition from random instanton-antiinstanton liquid and correlated instanton-antiinstanton molecules. So far this phenomenon was studied by numerical simulations, while we…
We investigate the effects of flavor SU(3)-symmetry breaking on the quark, gluon, and mixed quark-gluon condensates, based on the nonlocal effective chiral action from the instanton vacuum. We employ two different parameterizations for the…
We extend the instanton calculus for N=1/2 U(2) supersymmetric gauge theory by including one massless flavor. We write the equations of motion at leading order in the coupling constant and we solve them exactly in the non(anti)commutativity…

It is shown in a systematic way that the instanton dilute model can be combined with the global colour symmetry model to form a new nonperturbative QCD model. Based on the quark propagator derived in the instanton dilute liquid…
In this letter we evaluate one-loop all-plus gluon amplitudes of $\mathrm{SU}(N_c)$ gauge theory with $N_f$ fundamental fermions in the presence of a flavour instanton background. Fermion zero modes are regulated with a chiral mass term.…
