Spatially non-local matrix elements are useful lattice-QCD observables in a variety of contexts, for example in determining hadron structure. To quote credible estimates of the systematic uncertainties in these calculations, one must…
We explore gauge actions for lattice QCD, which are constructed such that the occurrence of small plaquette values is strongly suppressed. Such actions originate from the admissibility condition in order to conserve the topological charge.…
The proton-polarizability contribution to the muonic-hydrogen Lamb shift is a major source of theoretical uncertainty in the extraction of the proton charge radius. An empirical evaluation of this effect, based on the proton structure…
Two different descriptions of the existing pion-nucleon scattering data in the region of the Roper resonance are constructed. Both descriptions fit the experimental data very well. In one scenario the resonance is the result of strong…
A new way to overcome the $\Lambda$ hyperon selective suppression, which is known as the $\Lambda$-anomaly, has been suggested. In particular, the additional radius of a $\Lambda$ hyperon is introduced into the model of hadron resonance gas…
Motivated by the need to understand hadron masses, we reexamine an old problem in QED - the composition of the electron mass - in a modern perspective. We find that in the unrenormalized QED, the vacuum subtraction plays an important role…
One of the most surprising results is to find that a consistent description of all the experimental results on particle multiplicities and particle ratios obtained from the lowest AGS to the highest RHIC energies is possible within the…
We compare recent lattice QCD calculations of higher order cumulants of net-strangeness fluctuations with hadron resonance gas (HRG) model calculations. Up to the QCD transition temperature Tc=( 154 +/- 9) MeV we find good agreement between…
An extension of Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model is constructed to include interactions using relativistic virial expansion of partition function. The non-interacting part of the expansion contains all the stable baryons and mesons and the…
We suggest a new efficient way to constrain a certain class of large scale modifications of gravity. We show that the scale-free relation between density and size of Dark Matter halos, predicted within the LambdaCDM model with Newtonian…
I review recent lattice QCD results on a few selected topics which are relevant to the heavy ion physics community. Special emphasis is put on the QCD equation of state at vanishing and nonzero baryon chemical potential, the onset of…
Modified dispersion relations(MDRs) as a manifestation of Lorentz invariance violation, have been appeared in alternative approaches to quantum gravity problem. Loop quantum gravity is one of these approaches which evidently requires…
We propose a new model-independent method for determining hadronic resonances from lattice QCD. The formalism is derived from the general principles of unitarity and analyticity, as encoded in the $N/D$ representation of a partial-wave…
We consider the Lorentz contraction of a fermion-antifermion bound state in 1+1 dimensional QED. In 1+1 dimensions the absence of physical, propagating photons allows us to explicitly solve the weak coupling limit \alpha << m^2 of the…
We study the valence approximation in lattice QCD of hadrons where the cloud quarks and antiquarks are deleted by truncating the backward time propagation (Z graphs) in the connected insertions. Whereas, the sea quarks are eliminated via…
We show how repulsive interactions of deconfined quarks as well as confined hadrons have an influence on the baryon number susceptibilities and the curvature of the chiral pseudo critical line in effective models of QCD. We discuss…
Drawing on experimental data for baryon resonances, Hamiltonian effective field theory (HEFT) is used to predict the positions of the finite-volume energy levels to be observed in lattice QCD simulations. We have studied the low-lying…
Thermodynamic properties of systems with repulsive interactions, are considered in the grand canonical ensemble. The analytic structure of the excluded-volume model in the complex plane of the system chemical potential (fugacity) is…
A simple model is constructed which allows to compute modified dispersion relations with effects from loop quantum gravity. Different quantization choices can be realized and their effects on the order of corrections studied explicitly. A…
We present a predictive warped model of flavor that is cut off at an ultraviolet scale O(10^3) TeV. This "Little Randall-Sundrum (LRS)" model is a volume-truncation, by a factor $y \approx 6$, of the RS scenario and is holographically dual…
