Quarks play an active role in shaping the QCD vacuum structure. Being dual carriers of both `color' and `electric' charges they also respond to externally applied electromagnetic fields. Thus, in principle, the vacuum of strong interactions…
We try to find the grounds for the standard nucleon QCD sum rules, based on more detailed description of QCD vacuum. We calculate the polarization operator of the nucleon current in the instanton medium. The medium (QCD vacuum) is assumed…
After some general remarks on non-perturbative QCD I present shortly models which lead to a color-electric flux tube formation. The implications of such a flux tube formation especially on high energy scattering are discussed.
This is the first of a sequence of papers that address the non-perturbative origin of the central, and spin-dependent forces between quarks. Its main thrust is a focus on meson spectroscopy in the center of mass frame. We suggest a "dense…
This is a review of progress in hadron structure physics from lattice QCD. Recent results on the structure of the nucleon and the pion in terms of (transition) form factors, moments of distribution amplitudes and (generalized) parton…
I review some of the main results on hard diffraction, in their relation to QCD, and indicate some of the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments. I also make some suggestions for future work.
Several topics in hadron physics at different scales of resolution are discussed. First, deep-inelastic scattering from nucleons and nuclei is viewed in a light-cone coordinate space picture. Then the smooth transition from parton to hadron…
In this talk I review the current status of lattice QCD calculations at nonzero temperature and density. I focus on the QCD phase structure and bulk QCD thermodynamics at zero and nonzero chemical potentials.
The dual superconductivity of QCD vacuum as a mechanism for colour confinement is reviewed. Recent evidence from lattice of monopole condensation is presented.
We introduce a framework for probing the spacetime structure of vacuum entanglement that exhibits infinite range correlations between the future and the past, as well as spatially separated regions. Our results are non-perturbative and…
The correlator of vector and nonsinglet axial-vector currents in the external electromagnetic field is calculated within the instanton liquid model of QCD vacuum. In general the correlator has two Lorentz structures: longitudinal w_L and…
Recent progress in lattice QCD calculations of nucleon structure will be presented. Calculations of nucleon matrix elements and form factors have long been difficult to reconcile with experiment, but with advances in both methodology and…
We discuss the various aspects of two-dimensional $QCD_{2}(N\rightarrow\infty)$ (the 't Hooft model\cite{Hooft}). Our main interest (motivated by the corresponding analysis in the four dimensional QCD) is the vacuum structure of the theory.…
The status is reviewed of the dual superconductivity of QCD vacuum as a mechanism of color confinement.
Lectures discuss applications of semiclassical methods based on instantons to vacuum structure (chiral symmetry breaking), hadronic structure (various correlation functions), and high energy collisions of hadrons and heavy ions. We discuss…
A review on how the Odderon idea does appear in QCD is given. In the last years it has been developed a non-perturbative QCD approach based on the stochastic vacuum model and a perturbative one based on resummation techniques in the small x…
It is shown that the ground state or vacuum to the lattice Euclidean quantum gravity is significantly different from the ground states to the well-known vacua in QED, QCD, et cetera. In the case of the lattice Euclidean quantum gravity, the…
We investigate the instanton dynamics of asymptotically safe and free quantum field theories featuring respectively controllable ultraviolet and infrared fixed points. We start by briefly reviewing the salient points about the instanton…
Using the effective potential approach for composite operators we have formulated the quantum model of the QCD vacuum. It is based on the existence and importance of the nonperturbative $q^{-4}$-type dynamical, topologically nontrivial…
In these lectures we provide an introduction to the phase structure of QCD. We begin with a brief discussion of QCD, the symmetries of QCD, and what we mean by a ``phase of QCD''. In the main part of the lectures we discuss the phase…
