We give a general decomposition of SU(N) connection and derive a generalized Skyrme-Faddeev action as the effective action of SU(N) QCD in the low energy limit. The result is obtained by separating the topological degrees which describes…
We study a number of different ingredients, related to long range order observed in lattice QCD simulations, using a simple "deformed QCD" model. This model is a weakly coupled gauge theory, which however has all the relevant crucial…
In an Abelian projection SU(2) gluodynamics contains Abelian gauge fields (diagonal degrees of freedom) and Abelian matter fields (off-diagonal degrees). The matter fields are essential for the breaking of the adjoint string. We obtain…
The nonabelian Stokes theorem, representing a Wilson loop as an integral over all the orientations in colour space, and the cumulant expansion are used for derivation of the string effective action in SU(2) gluodynamics. The obtained theory…

We report on a non-perturbative study of two dimensional $\cN=(2,2)$ super QCD. Our lattice formulation retains a single exact supersymmetry at non-zero lattice spacing, and contains $N_f$ fermions in the fundamental representation of a…
We study the heavy-heavy-light quark ($QQq$) potential in SU(3) quenched lattice QCD, and discuss one of the roles of the finite-mass valence quark in the inter-quark potential. Monte Carlo simulations are performed with the standard gauge…
Monopole and photon contributions to abelian Wilson loops are calculated using Monte-Carlo simulations of finite-temperature $SU(2)$ QCD in the maximally abelian gauge. The string tension is reproduced by monopole contribution alone also in…

We present a simple parameterization of a running coupling constant, defined via the static potential, that interpolates between 2-loop QCD in the UV and the string prediction in the IR. Besides the usual $\Lam$-parameter and the string…
The structure of the flux tube is studied in $SU(2)$ QCD from the standpoint of the abelian projection theory. It is shown that the flux distributions of the orthogonal electric field and the magnetic field are produced by the effect that…
We report on a very accurate measurement of the static quark potential in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in (2+1) dimensions in order to study the corrections to the linear behaviour. We perform numerical simulations at zero and finite temperature…
In 4D compact U(1) lattice gauge theory with a monopole term added to the Wilson action we first reveal some properties of a third phase region at negative $\beta$. Then at some larger values of the monopole coupling $\lambda$ by a…
In this talk we review how a dilute gas of magnetic monopoles in the adjoint describes the spatial k-Wilson loops. We formulate an effective theory from $S_{MQCD}$ by integrating out dof's down to scales in between the magnetic screening…

All-order strong coupling simulations have been used to derive precise energies of string states in the confined phase of three dimensional Z(2) lattice gauge theory. The behavior of the ground state energy is here compared with predictions…
In two dimensions large N QCD with quarks, defined on the plane, is equivalent to a modified string theory with quarks at the ends and taken in the zero fold sector. The equivalence that was established in 1975 was expressed in the form of…
We study the heavy quark potential in the SU(2) positive plaquette model using monopoles in the maximum abelian gauge, and vortices. Monopoles give a quantitative description of the string tension. Vortices approximately reproduce the…
We discuss four dimensional effective actions of string theory flux compactifications. These effective actions describe four dimensional gravity coupled to overall Kahler modulus of the compactification manifold. We demonstrate the…
