Recent progress in our understanding of infrared singularities of multi-parton amplitudes has shown that the simplest form of Regge factorization for high-energy gauge-theory amplitudes fails starting at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic…
We propose a method to determine the effective potential of QCD from the gap equation, by introducing the homotopy method between the solutions of the equation of motion. Via this method, the effective potential beyond the bare vertex…
We review recent progress in calculations of one-loop QCD amplitudes. By imposing the consistency requirements of unitarity and correct behavior as the momenta of two legs become collinear, we construct ansatze for one-loop amplitudes with…
We present examples of on-shell recurrence relations for determining rational functions appearing in one-loop QCD amplitudes. In particular, we give relations for one-loop QCD amplitudes with all legs of positive helicity, or with one leg…
The behaviour of the master field in ``induced QCD" near the edge of its support is studied. An extended scaling domain, where the shape of the master field is a universal function, is found. This function is determined explicitly for the…

We study the three-quark static potential in perturbation theory in QCD. A complete next-to-leading order calculation is performed in the singlet, octets and decuplet channels and the potential exponentiation is demonstrated. The mixing of…
We complete the calculation of the QCD penguin amplitude at next-to-next-to-leading order in the QCD factorization approach to non-leptonic B-meson decays. This provides the last missing piece in the computation of the QCD correction to…
We clarify the difference among potential models so far proposed to explain mass spectra of heavy-light mesons via transformations of the vacuum. Applying our idea to QQ-bar quarkonium, we obtain the extra term, 1/r^2 with positive…
Within an effective field theory framework we study heavy-quark--antiquark systems with a typical distance between the heavy quark and the antiquark smaller than $1/\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$. A suitable definition of the potential is given within…

We elucidate the structure of the next-to-leading-power soft-gluon expansion of arbitrary one-loop massless-QCD amplitudes. The expansion is given in terms of universal colour-, spin- and flavour-dependent operators acting on…
We discuss the massive extension of the four-dimensional superfield QED. For this theory, we calculate the one-loop effective potential of the chiral matter.
The author of this work have got explicit expressions for the timelike region at Next-to-Leading-Order (NLO) as for the coupling function so for QCD observables. These expressions were compared with approximate ones obtained in terms of…
We report our exploratory study on the matching condition of HQET with QCD including 1/m corrections. We introduce a new observable from the dependence of the heavy-light effective energy on the twisted boundary condition parameter…
Taylor expansion of the equation of state of QCD suffers from shortcomings at chemical potentials $\mu_B \geq (2-2.5)T$. First, one faces difficulties inherent in performing such an expansion with a limited number of coefficients; second,…
The nucleon-nucleon potential is analysed using the 1/N_c expansion of QCD. The NN potential is shown to have an expansion in 1/N_c^2, and the strengths of the leading order central, spin-orbit, tensor, and quadratic spin-orbit forces…
The static Coulomb potential of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) is calculated in the presence of a strong magnetic field in the lowest Landau level (LLL) approximation using two different methods. First, the vacuum expectation value of the…
