Finite temperature instantons between meta-stable vacua of correlated electronic system are solved analytically for quasi one-dimensional Hubbard model. The instantons produce dynamic symmetry breaking and connect metallic state with the…
We examined the instanton contribution to the QCD configurations generated from lattice QCD for $N_F=0$, $N_F=2+1$ and $N_F=2+1+1$ dynamical quark flavors from two different and complementary approaches. First via the use of Gradient flow,…
We extend the instanton calculus for N=1/2 U(2) supersymmetric gauge theory by including one massless flavor. We write the equations of motion at leading order in the coupling constant and we solve them exactly in the non(anti)commutativity…
The impact of QCD instantons on scalar glueball properties is studied in the framework of an instanton-improved operator product expansion (IOPE) for the 0^{++} glueball correlation function. Direct instanton contributions are found to…
The thermal instanton determinant for the gauge group $SU(2)$ can be reduced to a form involving two simple functions. Various boundary conditions can easily incorporated. Only a two dimensional integral has to be done numerically. As an…
We present some evidence that in Lattice Gauge Theory the condensate contains a non-perturbative contribution proportional to $\Lambda^2$, the square of the physical scale. This result is based on an analysis of the Wilson loop plaquette…
We compute a compact OPE formula describing power corrections to the perturbative expression for the asymmetric $\widetilde{MOM}$-renormalized running coupling constant up to the leading logarithm. By the use of the phenomelogical…

The continuum limit of SU(2) lattice gauge theory is carefully investigated at zero and at finite temperatures. It is found that the continuum gauge field has singularities originating from center degrees of freedom being discovered in…
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 compute the dimension-2 gluon pair condensate $g^2<{AA}>$ and the dimension-4 mixed quark-gluon condensate $<\bar{q}gA\cdot\gamma{q}>$ in Landau gauge within the framework of global color model. The result for the dynamical gluon mass is…
We describe the properties of instantons in lattice gauge theory when the action is a fixed point action of some renormalization group transformation. We present a theoretically consistent method for measuring topological charge using an…
We discuss the 2-point-particle-irreducible (2PPI) expansion, which sums bubble graphs to all orders, in the context of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in the Landau gauge. Using the method we investigate the possible existence of a gluon…

We investigate the monopole-instanton correlation in SU(2) lattice gauge theory using a renormalisation group inspired smoothing technique. We look at the properties of monopole clusters and their correlation with instantons. Since the…
We study $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory in small volumes and with twist $\vec{m}=(1,1,1)$. We investigate the presence of the periodic instantons of $Q=\frac{1}{2}$ and determine their free energy and their contribution to the splitting of…
We give a more transparent understanding of the vacuum expectation value of the renormalised local operator A^2 by relating it to the gluon propagator integrated over the momentum. The quadratically divergent perturbative contribution is…
A characterization of instanton contributions to gauge field theory is given. The dynamics of instantons with the gluon field is given in terms of 'classical' instanton contributions, i.e. on the same footing as tree amplitudes in field…
We report on the interesting possibility of instanton-driven gluon saturation in lepton-nucleon scattering at small Bjorken-x. The explicitly known instanton gauge field serves as a concrete realization of an underlying non-perturbative…
We interpret lattice data for the equation of state of pure gauge $SU(3)_c$ by an evaporation model. At low temperatures gluons are frozen inside the gluon condensate, whose dynamics is described in terms of a dilaton lagrangian. Above the…
