For full QCD vacuum expectation values we construct an expansion in quark loop count and in powers of a coupling constant. The leading term in this expansion is the valence (quenched) approximation vacuum expectation value. Higher terms…

String representation of the Wilson loop in 3D Abelian-projected SU(3)-gluodynamics is constructed in the approximation that Abelian-projected monopoles form a gas. Such an assumption is much weaker than the standard one, demanding the…
We discuss a few tightly connected problems, such as the $U(1)$ problem, confinement, the $\theta$ -dependence within a framework of the dynamical toron approach. We calculate two fundamental characteristics of the theory: the vacuum…
We review the chiral spin symmetry, which is a symmetry of the color charge and of the confining electric part of QCD. Observation of this symmetry in the vacuum upon truncation of the near-zero modes of the Dirac operator implies that the…

We investigate the finite-temperature quantum chromodynamics (QCD) on a rotating lattice with $N_f=2+1$ staggered fermions and the projective plane boundary condition. We observe a negative rotational rigidity (defined in the main text) and…
Using the eigen-mode of the QCD Dirac operator $\Slash D=\gamma^\mu D^\mu$, we develop a manifestly gauge-covariant expansion and projection of the QCD operators such as the Wilson loop and the Polyakov loop. With this method, we perform a…
A quark confinement potential is derived from QCD Lagrangial under the two assumptions in the energy region relevant to quark confinement. The possibility of perturbation in QCD is assumed, and the momentum of the gluon transfered by the…
We show the running coupling as derived from the SU(3) QQ potential and discuss preliminary results on spin dependent heavy quark potentials from high statistics lattice simulations of SU(2) gauge theory. The precision suffices to study…
We address the question whether features known from quantum chromodynamics (QCD) can possibly also show up in solid-state physics. It is shown that spinless fermions of charge $e$ on a checkerboard lattice with nearest-neighbor repulsion…
We propose a quantum information framework to model the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) as a composite quantum channel acting on a multi-qubit or multi-qutrit color-entangled system. The QGP's effects are represented by amplitude damping (jet…
