The instanton vacuum provides an effective description of chiral symmetry breaking by local topological fluctuations of the gauge fields, as observed in lattice QCD simulations. The resulting effective dynamics at momenta below $1/\bar\rho…
It is shown that, in QCD, the same universal function $\Gamma_{cusp}(\vartheta, \alpha_\s)$ determines the infrared behaviour of the on-shell quark form factor, the velocity-dependent anomalous dimension in the heavy quark effective field…
The contribution of the nonperturbative quark-gluon interaction induced by the instantons to $g_1^p(x,Q^2)$ and $F_2^p(x,Q^2)$ structure functions is estimated. It is shown that nontrivial $Q^2$ dependence of the instanton contribution to…

Instantons play a crucial role in understanding non-perturbative dynamics in quantum field theories, including those with spontaneously broken gauge symmetries. In the broken phase, finite-size instanton-like configurations are no longer…

Non-perturbative effects of instanton-like solutions are studied within the framework of supergravity theories with field-dependent gauge functions. Fermionic zero modes are constructed and some typical correlation functions are evaluated.…
The instanton--antiinstanton pair induced asymptotics of perturbation theory expansion for QCD correlators is considered. It is argued that though the true asymptotics is dominated by renormalon, the instanton-induced contribution may…
It is by now well understood that spin asymmetry in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) can appear if two things are both present: (i) a chirality flip of the struck quark; (ii) a nonzero T-odd phase due to its final state interaction. So far…
Expressions for the Wick contractions contributing to the scalar pion form-factor were computed model-independently in chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order. The results reveal correlations amongst the different contractions…
It is shown that the dynamical observables calculated with the point form relativistic quantum mechanics incorporate effects of particle-antiparticle creation from the vacuum by interactions. The electromagnetic observables obtained with…
We calculate the leading nonperturbative contributions to the effective Wilson coefficient of the four-fermion operators arising from the QCD penguin, and we demonstrate how the usual perturbative one loop contribution is augmented by…
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 ${\mathcal Q}^{-1}$…
In this talk I report calculable nonperturbative QCD effects to the inclusive semileptonic and radiative B-meson decay rates. Small instantons contribute to the Wilson coefficient functions at scales below $m_b$. It is found that the…
The instanton effects on the charmonium spectrum is discussed in the framework of nonrelativistic potential model. The results from constituent quark model without inclusion of instanton effects is compared with the results for `the…
Path integral implementation of the quantum instanton approximation currently belongs among the most accurate methods for computing quantum rate constants and kinetic isotope effects, but its use has been limited due to the rather high…
We study the twist-4 contribution to the unpolarized nucleon structure functions, F_L and F_2, in an approach where the vacuum structure of QCD is described by a dilute medium of instantons ($\bar\rho / \bar R \ll 1$). The dominant power…
This work is devoted to the study of the non-perturbative contributions in non-leptonic hyperon decays. We show that the instanton-induced 't Hooft interaction can naturally explain the Delta I=1/2 rule, by generating quark-diquark…
We compute the effect of small-size instantons on the coefficient function of the chiral condensate in the operator product expansion of current-current correlators. Furthermore, we also compute the instanton corrections associated with…
