In condensed-matter physics, long-range correlations introduce quantum states of matter that challenge intuition. For instance, supersolids combine symmetry-breaking crystalline structure, i.e. density order, and frictionless superfluid…

In quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the role which topologically non-trivial configurations play in splitting the singlet pseudo-Goldstone meson, the $\eta^\prime$, from the octet is familiar. In addition, such configurations contribute to…
We construct a model to study the impact of instantons on the low lying eigenvalue spectrum of the Dirac operator. The model is by necessity, approximate, though it does incorporate the important symmetries of the underlying field theory.…
General implications of existence of non-perturbative scales and hadronic sub-structure for high energy processes are discussed. We propose that the dependence of the cross section of $\bar q q$ dipoles on their size d should deviate from…
We quantitatively examine the extent to which instanton degress of freedom, contained within standard Monte-carlo generated gauge-field configurations, can maintain the characteristic features of the mass and renormalisation functions of…
Small-x DIS is described as the scattering of a partonic fluctuation of the photon off a superposition of target color fields. Diffraction occurs if the emerging partonic state is in a color singlet. Introducing a specific model for the…
We will discuss how the problem of high-energy hadron-hadron (dipole-dipole) scattering at low momentum transfer can be approached from the point of view of lattice QCD, by means of Monte Carlo numerical simulations.
Whether Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) exhibits a phase transition at finite temperature and density is an open question. It is important for hydrodynamic modeling of heavy ion collisions and neutron star mergers. Lattice QCD simulations have…
