Standard Model determinations of properties of strongly interacting systems of hadrons have become possible with the powerful method of lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD), a method with growing applicability and reliability. While growth…
In this article we review the basic formulation of light-front field theory and light-front phenomena in strong interaction. We also explore various approaches to the understanding of these phenomena and the associated problems of hadronic…
The theory of the strong force, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) remains one of the most important ways to understand the fundamental properties of ordinary matter. However, at low momentum transfer Q2, in the regime where the strong force…
There is little doubt that Quantumchromodynamics (QCD) is the theory which describes strong interaction physics. Lattice gauge simulations of QCD predict that in the $\mu,T$ plane there is a line where a transition from confined hadronic…
The dispersive approach to quantum chromodynamics is applied to the study of the hadronic vacuum polarization function and associated quantities. This approach merges the intrinsically nonperturbative constraints, which originate in the…
We review the present situation with hadron form factors in space-like and time-like regions. The possibility to transfer high momenta, and therefore to access small internal nucleon distances, allows to test nucleon models in particular…
QCD is the accepted (that is, the effective) theory of the strong interaction; studies at colliders are no longer designed to establish this. Such studies can now be divided into two categories. The first involves the identification of…
During the first part of this review we will focus on the thermodynamics of $SU(N)$ gauge theories at finite temperature. We will present results from a calculation of electric and magnetic screening masses for the gluons, discuss…
I review our current understanding of the properties of strongly interacting matter at high temperatures, based upon numerical calculations in lattice QCD. I discuss the chiral and deconfining aspects of the QCD transition, the equation of…
We present a new perspective on the nature of quark and gluon condensates in quantum chromodynamics. We suggest that the spatial support of QCD condensates is restricted to the interiors of hadrons, since these condensates arise due to the…
Quantum chromodynamics is the quantum gauge field theory that describes the strong interactions. This article reviews the basic structure, successes and challenges of quantum chromodynamics as it manifests itself at short and long…
It has long been expected that the spectrum of hadrons in QCD would be far richer and extensive than experiment has so far revealed. While there have been experimental hints of this richness for some time, it is really only in the last few…
Studies of hadronic final states are entering a new phase where very precise experimental measurements require better theoretical predictions for a meaningful comparison. Recent results and future developments are briefly reviewed both for…
We review some outstanding puzzles and experimental anomalies in hadron physics that appear to challenge conventional wisdom and, in some cases, the foundations of QCD. We also discuss possible solutions and propose new tests and…
We give an overview of recent progress into the infrared structure of QCD based on the gauge/gravity correspondence and light-front quantization, where the color confining interaction for mesons and baryons is determined by an underlying…
In nonzero magnetic field, the magnetic properties and thermodynamics of the quantum-chromodynamic (QCD) matter is studied in the hadron resonance gas and the Polyakov linear-sigma models and compared with recent lattice calculations. Both…
The strong force which binds hadrons is described by the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Determining the character and manifestations of QCD is one of the most important and challenging outstanding issues necessary for a…
We use a variational procedure to study finite density QCD in an approximation in which the interaction between quarks is modelled by that induced by instantons. We find that uniform states with conventional chiral symmetry breaking have…
