A hidden local symmetry formalism with a two-photon counterterm approach is performed based on the relativistic continuum quantum many-body theory. The underlying electromagnetic under-screening as well as screening effects between the…
The $n$-body problem with a purely repulsive Coulomb interaction is considered. It is shown that for large times $t$ the distance between any two particles grows linearly in $t$. The trajectory of each particle is asymptotically a straight…
Correlation between instantons and QCD-monopoles is studied in the abelian-gauge-fixed QCD. From a simple topological consideration, instantons are expected to appear only around the QCD-monopole trajectory in the abelian-dominating system.…
In this paper we propose ALF gravitational instantons of types A_k and D_k as models for charged particle systems. We calculate the charges of the two families. These are -(k +1) for A_k, which is proposed as a model for k+1 electrons, and…

We introduce an explicit form of the multi-instanton weight including also instanton--anti-instanton interactions for arbitrary $N_c$ in the two-dimensional $CP^{N_c-1}$ model. To that end, we use the parametrization of multi-instantons in…
The axion mass receives a large correction from small instantons if the QCD gets strongly coupled at high energies. We discuss the size of the new CP violating phases caused by the fact that the small instantons are sensitive to the UV…

Instantons lead to strong correlations between up and down quarks with spin zero and anti-symmetric color wave functions. In cold and dense matter, $n_b>n_c\simeq 1 fm^{-3}$ and $T<T_c\sim$ 50 MeV, these pairs Bose-condense, replacing the…
We investigate the Kondo effect in a double-quantum-dot which is capacitively coupled to a charge-Qubit. It is shown that due to this capacitive coupling, the bare inter-dot repulsive interaction in the double-quantum-dot is effectively…
We analyze the relation between instantons and abelian projected monopoles in both phases of pure QCD by calculating local correlation functions between topological charge densities and monopole densities. On an $8^{3} \times 4$ lattice, it…

We analyze the correlation function of a meson with one heavy and one light quark in inverse powers of the heavy quark mass $m_Q$ using a succession of Foldy-Wouthuysen-type transformations prior to radiative corrections. We evaluate the…
Using the 1/N expansion, we study the influence of quantum instantons on the thermodynamics of the CP^(N-1) model in 1+1 dimensions. We do this by calculating the pressure to next-to-leading order in 1/N, without quantum instanton…
Until now, there is no experimental evidence on the gravitational behaviour of antimatter. While we may be confident that antimatter attracts antimatter, we do not know anything on the interaction between matter and antimatter. We…
We study (anti-) instantons in super Yang-Mills theories defined on a non anticommutative superspace. The instanton solution that we consider is the same as in ordinary SU(2) N=1 super Yang-Mills, but the anti-instanton receives corrections…
The possibility that like-charges can attract each other under the mediation of mobile counterions is by now well documented experimentally, numerically, and analytically. Yet, obtaining exact results is in general impossible, or restricted…
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" $1/N_c$…

We analyze topological objects in pure QCD in the presence of external quarks by calculating the distributions of instanton and monopole densities around static color sources. We find a suppression of the densities close to external sources…
