We use the QCD instanton vacuum model to discuss the emergence of the light scalar and vector mesons on the light front. We take into account both the instanton and anti-instanton single and molecular interactions on the light quarks, in…
Nontrivial topological structures of non-Abelian gauge fields were discovered in the 1970's. Instanton solutions, describing vacuum tunneling through topological barriers, have fermionic zero modes which are at the origin of $^\prime$t…
We show that the onset and rise of QCD mini-jets provide the dynamical mechanism behind the appearance of a soft edge in pp collisions around ISR energies and thus such a soft edge is built in our mini-jet model with soft gluon resummation.…
Possibility of experimental identification of QCD-instantons in high energy collisions is studied by means of correlations analysis in final states. Instanton-induced processes amplitudes are performed in the framework of QCD in Gauss…
We briefly report on the contribution of QCD-instantons to the phenomenon of saturation in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) at small Bjorken-x. The explicitly known instanton gauge field serves as a concrete realization of an underlying…
In this paper we construct a model that satisfies the theoretical requisites of high energy soft interactions, based on two ingredients:(i) the results of N=4 SYM, which at present is a unique theory that allows one to deal with a large…
This talk is a review of our studies of instantons and their properties as seen in our lattice simulations of SU(2) gauge theory. We have measured the topological susceptibility and the size distribution of instantons in the QCD vacuum. We…

QCD vacuum instantons induce very strong interactions between light quarks, which generate large dynamical light quark mass M for initially almost massless quarks and can bound these quarks to produce almost massless pions in accordance…
Multi Pomeron interactions are the main source of high mass diffraction. Their role in high energy dynamics greatly influences the predictions for high energy cross sections and survival probabilities of hard diffraction channels, notably,…
The instanton/sphaleron processes involve gauge fields with changing topology through a nonzero variation of the Chern-Simons number $\delta N_{CS}=\pm 1$. In QCD this leads to the production of $2N_f \delta N_{CS}$ units of axial charge,…
Soft diffractive cross sections in $pp$ (or $\bar pp$), $\pi p$ and $\gamma p$ collisions are calculated using QCD-motivated pomeron. The $s$-channel unitarization of the amplitude is performed by the eikonal approach, and in the framework…
A simple multipole Pomeron and Odderon model for elastic hadron scattering, reproducing the structure of the first and second diffraction cones is used to analyze $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ scattering. The main emphasis is on the delicate and…
Non-linear effects in hadronic interactions are treated by means of enhanced pomeron diagrams, assuming that pomeron-pomeron coupling is dominated by soft partonic processes. It is shown that the approach allows to resolve a seeming…

We describe the elements of the GLM model that successfully describes soft hadronic interactions at energies from ISR to LHC. This model is based on a single Pomeron with a large intercept $\Delta_{\pom}$ = 0.23 and slope $\alpha_{\pom}'$ =…
QCD point-to-point correlation functions at distances .2-1 fm are very different for different channels, and they tell us a lot about inter-quark interactions. Recent studies based on experimental data, 'instanton liquid' approach and…
We are discussing the properties of the QCD vacuum which might be important especially for the understanding of hadrons with small quark core size $\sim0.3\,fm.$ We assume that at these distances the QCD vacuum can be described by the…
This paper aims to serve as an introductory resource for disseminating the concept of instanton liquid model to individuals with interests in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) for hadrons. We discuss several topological aspects of the QCD vacuum…
Instanton calculations in QCD are generically plagued by infrared divergencies associated with the integration over the instanton size $\rho$. Here, we demonstrate explicitly that the typical inverse hard momentum scale ${\mathcal Q}^{-1}$…
