We present a two-flavor QCD calculation of $B_K$ on a $16^3 \times 32$ lattice at $a\sim 0.12$ fm (or equivalently $a^{-1}\sim$1.67 GeV). Both valence and sea quarks are described by the overlap fermion formulation. The matching factor is…
We explore the possibility of a simulation of strong coupling QCD in terms of so-called baryon bags. In this form the known representation in terms of monomers, dimers and baryon loops is reorganized such that the baryon contributions are…
Lattice quantum chromodynamics is used to constrain the interactions of two octet baryons at the SU(3) flavor-symmetric point, with quark masses that are heavier than those in nature (equal to that of the physical strange quark mass and…
We present updated results on the chiral properties of SU(3) gauge theories with 2 and 6 massless Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation. Our focus is on the ratio $\langle \bar{\psi} \psi \rangle / F^3$, where $\langle \bar{\psi}…
We study $SU(N_c)$ lattice gauge theories with $N_f$ flavors of massless staggered fermions in the presence of quark chemical potential $\mu$. A recent exact result that in the strong coupling limit (vanishing inverse gauge coupling…
Studying our semirelativistic potential model and the numerical results, which succeeds in predicting and reproducing recently discovered higher resonances of $D$, $D_s$, $B$, and $B_s$, we find a simple expression for the mass gap between…

We present a model of cold QCD matter that bridges nuclear and quark matter through the duality relation between quarks and baryons. The baryon number and energy densities are expressed as functionals of either the baryon momentum…
We study chiral symmetry breaking in QCD-like gauge theories introducing a confining effective propagator, as proposed recently by Cornwall, and considering the effect of dynamical gauge boson mass generation. The effective confining…
We reanalyse the topological susceptibility assuming the possibility of a significant paramagnetic suppression of the three-flavour quark condensate and a correlated enhancement of vacuum fluctuations of $s\bar{s}$ pairs. Using the…
We calculate the masses of the vector and axial-vector mesons as well as the nucleon and the delta resonance in the chiral symmetry restored vacuum. This is accomplished by separating the quark operators appearing in the QCD sum rules for…
We propose a minimal model for the cosmic coincidence problem $\Omega_{\rm DM}/\Omega_B \sim 5$ and neutrino mass in a type-II seesaw scenario. We extend the standard model of particle physics with a $\rm SU(2)$ singlet leptonic Dirac…
This review is devoted to summarizing recent developments of the linear sigma model (LSM) in cold and dense two-color QCD (QC$_2$D), in which lattice simulations are straightforwardly applicable thanks to the disappearance of the sign…
We investigate a bilayer honeycomb lattice model of spin-1/2 fermions at half-filling with local Heisenberg coupling of fermion spins across the two layers. Using variational Monte Carlo (VMC) simulation, we demonstrate that the system…
