This paper provides results for the spectra of triply charmed and bottom baryons based on a constituent quark model approach. We take advantage of the assumption that potential models are expected to describe triply heavy baryons to a…
We propose the $(3+1)$-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_3$ lattice gauge theory coupled with the 2-flavor Wilson-Dirac fermion as a toy model for studying quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at nonzero density. We study its phase diagram in the space of…
Using Monte Carlo simulations and extended mean field theory calculations we show that the $3$-dimensional $Z_3$ spin model with complex external fields has non-monotonic spatial correlators in some regions of its parameter space. This…
We consider zero-temperature transitions from conformal to non-conformal phases in quantum theories. We argue that there are three generic mechanisms for the loss of conformality in any number of dimensions: (i) fixed point goes to zero…

We comment on the Lee-Yang zero analysis for the study of the phase structure of QCD at high temperature and baryon number density by Monte-Carlo simulations. We find that the sign problem for non-zero density QCD induces a serious problem…
We study thermodynamics of strongly coupled lattice QCD with two colors of massless staggered fermions as a function of the baryon chemical potential $\mu$ in 3+1 dimensions using a new cluster algorithm. We find evidence that the model…

The impact of dynamical fermions on the vacuum structure of QCD is explored. Of particular interest is the topological charge correlator, $<q(x) q(0) >$, where negative values at small $x$ reveal a sign-alternating layered structure to the…
We review the recent progress achieved in the theoretical investigation of Quantum Chromodynamics in the high temperature regime, with a focus on results achieved by lattice QCD simulations. The discussion covers the structure of the phase…
We propose a novel random matrix model that describes the QCD Kondo phase. The model correctly implements both the chiral symmetry of light quarks and the SU(2) spin symmetry of heavy quarks. We analytically take the large-N limit with N…
