We propose and discuss a new approach to the analysis of the correlation functions which contain light-like Wilson lines or loops, the latter being cusped in addition. The objects of interest are therefore the light-like Wilson…
This is an elementary introduction to Wilson renormalization group and continuum effective field theories. We first review the idea of Wilsonian effective theory and derive the flow equation in a form that allows multiple insertion of…
Recently, Kovner and Lublinsky proposed new small-x QCD evolution equations valid when the gluon density inside the target is low. The key element of their construction is the Wess-Zumino term which ensures the non-commutativity of valence…
The short-distance coefficients for the color-octet ^3S_1 term in the fragmentation function for a gluon to split into polarized heavy quarkonium states are re-calculated to order alpha_s^2. The light-cone gauge remarkably simplifies the…
In this paper we found the parton densities at high energies. Their expressions stems from our attempts to reconcile the exact solution to the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation, which describes the rare fluctuation in the dipole-target…
We explore the recently derived equation that resums DGLAP corrections to the JIMWLK Hamiltonian in the simplified setting of the SU(2) gauge theory. We solve the equation numerically for the scattering matrix of a dressed gluon for a…
Eigenvalue distributions of properly regularized Wilson loop operators are used to study the transition from ultra-violet (UV) behavior to infra-red (IR) behavior in gauge theories coupled to matter that potentially have an IR fixed point…
We calculate quantum averages of Wilson loops (holonomies) in gauge theories on the Euclidean noncommutative plane, using a path-integral representation of the star-product. We show how the perturbative expansion emerges from a concise…
We perform an analysis of transverse-momentum dependent parton distribution functions, making use of their renormalization properties in terms of their leading-order anomalous dimensions. We show that the appropriate Wilson line in the…
The Landau-gauge gluon propagator is computed for the SU(3) gauge theory on lattices up to a size of $32^3 \times 200$. We use the standard Wilson action at $\beta = 6.0$ and compare our results with previous computations using large…
We formulate a light-front model for the pion that explicitly incorporates the gluonic degree of freedom. In this framework, high-energy scattering off the pion is described by an active gluon, while the remaining constituents are treated…
I investigate the relationship between the gluon distribution obtained using a dipole model fit to low-x data on F_2(x,Q^2) and standard gluons obtained from global fits with the collinear factorization theorem at fixed order. I stress the…
We propose a method for determining the exact correspondence between the Wilsonian cut-off scale on the boundary and its holographically dual bulk theory. We systematically construct the multi-trace Wilsonian effective action from…
We report our recent numerical studies on two-color QCD with Wilson fermions. First the phase structure of the system in (kappa,mu)-plane is analyzed by measuring Polyakov line, baryon number density, gluon energy density and Polyakov line…
In the semiclassical approach, inclusive and diffractive quark and gluon distributions are expressed in terms of correlation functions of Wilson loops. Each Wilson loop integrates the colour field strength in the area between the…
It is well-known that on-shell maximally helicity-violating gluon scattering amplitudes in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are dual to a bosonic Wilson loop on a null-polygonal contour. The light-like nature of the intervals is a…
In this report, a unified description of the loss of saturation magnetization in the presence of a distribution of finite-size effects is provided for weakly disordered spin-1/2 ferromagnets. This description allows us to derive a unified…
Qualitative features of Ginsparg-Wilson fermions, as formulated by Neuberger, coupled to two dimensional U(1) gauge theory are studied. The role of the Wilson mass parameter in changing the number of massless flavors in the theory and its…
A manifestly gauge invariant and regularized renormalization group flow equation is constructed for pure SU(N) gauge theory in the large N limit. In this way we make precise and concrete the notion of a non-perturbative gauge invariant…
The quasi-probabilistic Wigner distributions are the quantum mechanical analog of the classical phase-space distributions. We investigate quark Wigner distributions for a quark state dressed with a gluon, which can be thought of as a simple…
