We investigate "instantaneous interquark potential", an interesting gauge-dependent quantity defined from the spatial correlator $<\mathrm{Tr} [U_4^\dagger(s)U_4(s')]>$ of the temporal link-variable $U_4$, in detail in generalized Landau…
We perform a precise analytic test of the instanton approximation by comparing the exact band spectrum of the periodic Lam\'e potential to the tight-binding, instanton and WKB approximations. The instanton result gives the correct leading…
We use the variational method, in a reformulated Hamiltonian formalism of QCD, to derive the wave equation for a heavy quark-antiquark system using a trial state that contains a component with a virtual light quark pair. We examine the…
This work is devoted to the study of diquark correlations inside the nucleon. We analyze some matrix elements which encode information about the non-perturbative forces, in different color anti-triplet diquark channels. We suggest a lattice…
Various QCD correlators are calculated in the instanton liquid model in zeromode approximation and $1/N_c$ expansion. Previous works are extended by including dynamical quark loops. In contrast to the original "perturbative" $1/N_c$…
The axion Weak Gravity Conjecture implies that when parametrically increasing the axion decay constants, instanton corrections become increasingly important. We provide strong evidence for the validity of this conjecture by studying the…
In the hadroproduction of charm (or heavy flavours in general) in the context of string fragmentation, the pull of a beam remnant at the other end of a string may give a charm hadron more energy than the perturbatively produced one. The…
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…
We evaluate a number of new instanton-induced phenomena in QCD, starting with static dipole-dipole potentials, and proceeding to quark-quark and dipole-dipole scattering at high energy. We use a non-perturbative formulation of the…
The dynamics of heavy quarkonium systems in the strong coupling regime reduces to a quantum mechanical problem with a number of potentials which may be organized in powers of 1/m, m being the heavy quark mass. The potentials must be…
We investigate the distribution of instanton sizes in the framework of a simplified model for ensembles of instantons. This model takes into account the non-diluteness of instantons. The infrared problem for the integration over instanton…
In this review we will concentrate on the nonperturbative effects in the properties of hadrons made from the light-heavy and heavy-heavy quarks in the framework of Instanton Liquid Model (ILM) of QCD vacuum. We briefly discuss the main…
Following the procedure and motivations developed by Richardson, Buchmuller and Tye, we derive the potential of static quarks consistent with both the three-loop running of QCD coupling constant under the two-loop perturbative matching of V…
We propose to perform fully dynamical simulations at small quark masses by reweighting in the quark mass. This approach avoids some of the technical difficulties associated with direct simulations at very small quark masses. We calculate…
For the one-loop contribution to the QCD vacuum tunneling amplitude by quarks of generic mass value, we make use of a calculational scheme exploiting a large mass expansion together with a small mass expansion. The large mass expansion for…
We calculate the ground-state energy, pair correlation function, static structure factor, and momentum density of the one-dimensional electron fluid at high density using variational quantum Monte Carlo simulation. For an infinitely thin…
A slow-rolling scalar field ($Q\equiv$ Quintessence) with potential energy $V_Q\sim (3\times 10^{-3} {\rm eV})^4$ has been proposed as the origin of accelerating universe at present. We investigate the effective potential of $Q$ in the…

Large deviation theory and instanton calculus for stochastic systems are widely used to gain insight into the evolution and probability of rare events. At its core lies the realization that rare events are, under the right circumstances,…
The aim of these lectures is to give a self-contained introduction to nonrelativistic potential models, to their formulation as well as to their possible applications. At the price of some lack of (in a mathematical sense) rigorous…
