The properties of the vacuum are addressed in the two- and four-dimensional quark models for QCD. It is demonstrated that the two-dimensional QCD ('t Hooft model) possesses only one possible vacuum state - the solution to the mass-gap…
Dynamical symmetry breaking can happen through a Higgs mechanism but also spontaneously within a strongly-enough coupled theory. We treat a field-theoretical quark model of QCD based on a linear+Coulomb Cornell potential (to account for the…
A metastable phase has important physical implications, since it may form vacuum bubbles detectable experimentally, whereas an unstable vacuum instantly explodes. It is well known, due to chiral symmetry breaking, there are at least two…
Quarks in strong magnetic fields (|eB|>>Lambda_QCD^2 ~ 0.04 GeV^2) acquire enhanced infrared phase space proportional to |eB|. Accordingly they provide larger chiral condensates and stronger backreactions to the gluon dynamics. Confronting…
The ground state energy and energy gap to the first excited state are calculated for the attractive Hubbard model in one dimension using both the Bethe Ansatz equations and the variational BCS wavefunction. Comparisons are provided as a…
Stimulated by the newly observed charged hidden-charm state $Z_{cs}(3985)^-$ by BESIII Collaboration, $Z_{cs}(4000)^+$, $Z_{cs}(4220)^+$ and the excited $B_s^0$ states by LHCb Collaboration, a full calculation including masses and decay…
In this paper, we study generic non-local NJL models for four-dimensional QCD in the limit of a large number of colours. We diagonalise, through a Bogoliubov-type transformation, the Hamiltonian of the model completely in terms of the…
The exploration of the non-perturbative regime of QCD, that is the low-energy portion of the hadron spectrum, requires the adoption of theoretical methods more frequently applied to other, more conventional, quantum many body systems, like…
Monte Carlo simulations of the 3+1 dimensional NJL model are performed with baryon chemical potential mu>0. For mu>Sigma_0, the constituent quark mass in vacuum, chiral symmetry is restored and a diquark condensate <qq_+> forms. We analyse…
We discuss the internal structure of radially excited charmonium mesons based on the equal-time and Coulomb gauge Bethe-Salpeter (BS) amplitudes, which are obtained in lattice QCD. Our simulations are performed with a relativistic…
We calculate Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) state of a unitary Fermi gas of atoms interacting with the finite-ranged Jost-Kohn potential which has been recently shown to account for the resonant interactions [2019 {\rm J. Phys. B: At. Mol.…
Excited state spectra of $B$, $B_s$ and $B_c$ mesons are computed using lattice QCD. Working with a large basis of carefully constructed, approximately-local $q\bar{q}$-like operators we determine a rich spectrum of states up to $J=4$ in…
We study the most recently observed excited $B_{c}$ states with the Dyson-Schwinger equation and the Bethe-Salpeter equation approach of continuum QCD. The obtained $M_{B^+_{c}(2S)}=6.813(16)\text{GeV}$,…

The mass and leptonic decay constants of recently observed two new excited $B_c$ states at LHC are studied within the QCD sum rules. Considering the contributions of the ground and radially excited states, the mass and residues of the…
We discuss results of numerical analyses of the 3+1 dimensional Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model at non-zero baryon density. By studying relevant order parameters, it is shown that the model goes through a transition between a vacuum with broken…
We construct an effective model for the QCD equation of state, taking into account chiral symmetry restoration as well as the deconfinement phase transition. The correct asymptotic degrees of freedom at the high and low temperature limits…
We derive a new Banks-Casher-type relation which relates the density of complex Dirac eigenvalues at the origin to the BCS gap of quarks at high density. Our relation is applicable to QCD and QCD-like theories without a sign problem, such…
Using the newly measured masses of $B_c(1S)$ and $B_c(2S)$ from the CMS Collaboration and the $1S$ hyperfine splitting determined from the lattice QCD as constrains, we calculate the $B_c$ mass spectrum up to the $6S$ multiplet with a…
We study excited states of the nucleon in quenched lattice QCD with the spectral analysis using the maximum entropy method. Our simulations are performed on three lattice sizes $16^3\times 32$, $24^3\times 32$ and $32^3\times 32$, at…
