In this letter we report the direct perturbative QCD evaluation of twist-4 effects in diffractive DIS. They are large and have a strong impact on the $Q^2$ dependence of diffractive structure functions at large $\beta$. Based on the AGK…
At present, the theory of light diffraction only has the simple wave-optical approach. In this paper, we study light diffraction with the approach of relativistic quantum theory. We find that the slit length, slit width, slit thickness and…
This paper is a companion to 'Quantum Diffusion with Drift and the Einstein Relation I' (jointly submitted to arXiv). Its purpose is to describe and prove a certain number of technical results used in 'Quantum Diffusion with Drift and the…
These lectures discuss field theoretic techniques that might allow for realistic simulations of lattice QCD on small computers.
These are notes for a very rapid introduction to the basics of exterior differential systems and their connection with what is now known as Lie theory, together with some typical and not-so-typical applications to illustrate their use.
A semiclassical description of structure functions in DIS at small $x$ is presented. It gives an intuitive picture of the transition from the Double Leading Log approximation at large $Q^2$, to the powerlike dependence on $x$ in the BFKL…

In this talk we introduce the main features of a QCD-based model in which the coupling $\alpha_{s}$ is constrained by an infrared mass scale. We show recent applications of this model to hadron-hadron collisions, gap survival probability…
A continuum expression for the trace of the massive dressed-quark propagator is used to explicate a connection between the infrared limit of the QCD Dirac operator's spectrum and the quark condensate appearing in the operator product…
Modern-day `testing' of (perturbative) QCD is as much about pushing the boundaries of its applicability as about the verification that QCD is the correct theory of hadronic physics. This talk gives a brief discussion of a small selection of…
This is an introduction to the use of QCD perturbation theory, emphasizing generic features of the theory that enable one to separate short-time and long-time effects. I also cover some important classes of applications: electron-positron…

The logarithmic slope of the diffractive structure function is a potential observable scanning the hard and soft contributions in diffraction, allowing to disentangle the QCD dynamics. We report our calculations concerning this quantity, in…
