Within the Wilson integral formalism, we discuss the structure of nonperturbative corrections to the quark form factor at large momentum transfer analyzing the infrared renormalon and instanton effects. We show that the nonperturbative…
The thermodynamics of quarks and gluons strongly depends on the vacuum colormagnetic field, which grows with the temperature $T$, so that spatial string tension $\sigma_s ={\rm const}~ g^4 (T) T^2$. We investigate below what happens when…
We have reinvestigated the collision of gluonic bubbles in a SU(2) model of QCD which was studied by Johnson, Choi and Kisslinger in the context of the instanton-inspired model of QCD phase transition bubbles with plane wave approximation.…
We study color confinement properties of the multi-instanton system, which seems to carry an essence of the nonperturbative QCD vacuum. Here we assume that the multi-instanton system is characterized by the infrared suppression of…
A "natural" model for the QCD invariant (running) coupling, free of the IR singularity, is proposed. It is based upon the hypothesis of finite gluon mass $ m_{gl}$ existence and, technically, uses an accurate treating of threshold behavior…
The contribution of the anomalous quark-gluon interaction induced by instantons to the polarized and unpolarized gluon distributions in nucleon is estimated. It is shown that this interaction leads to negative gluon polarization in nucleon.
The quark <\bar\psi \psi> and gluon <F_{\mu\nu}F^{\mu\nu}> vacuum expectation values are non-vanishing at low orders in \alpha_s when the perturbative ground state includes quark and gluon pairs. This offers possibilities of studying the…
We investigate the distribution of instanton sizes in the framework of a simplified model for ensembles of instantons. This model takes into account the non-diluteness of instantons. The infrared problem for the integration over instanton…
We analyze the formation of fermionic condensates in two dimensional quantum chromodynamics for matter in the fundamental representation of the gauge group. We show that a topological regular instanton background is crucial in order to…
We perform a study of the non-perturbative dynamics of the light-quark sector of QCD, based on some recent results of lattice simulations with chiral fermions. We analyze some correlators that are designed to probe the Dirac structure of…
There is accumulating evidence in lattice QCD that attempts to locate confining fields in vacuum configurations bring results explicitly depending on tha lattice spacing (that is, ultraviolet cut off). Generically, one deals with…
We investigate the color coherence pattern between initial and final state radiation in the presence of a QCD medium. We derive the medium-induced gluon spectrum of an "asymptotic" parton which suffers a hard scattering and subsequently…
We apply Bogolubov approach to QCD to demonstrate a spontaneous generation of three-gluon gauge invariant effective interaction which contributes significantly at the infrared region. The contribution of this interaction to $\alpha_s(p^2)$…
We show how to do semiclassical nonperturbative computations within the worldline approach to quantum field theory using ``worldline instantons''. These worldline instantons are classical solutions to the Euclidean worldline loop equations…
The full gluon propagator relevant for the description of the truly non-perturbative QCD dynamics, the so-called intrinsically non-perturbative gluon propagator has been derived in our previous work. It explicitly depends on the regularized…
In supersymmetric QCD with SU(N_c) gauge group and N_f flavors, it is known that instantons generate a superpotential if N_f=N_c-1 and deform the moduli space of vacua if N_f=N_c. But the role of instantons has been unclear for N_f>N_c. In…
We analyze the non--perturbative features of 2D quantum gravity defined by stochastic regularization of the unstable matrix model showing, first, that the WKB approximation of the well-defined quantum Fokker-Planck hamiltonian corresponds…
We explore the stability of certain many-body quantum states which may exist at zero or finite temperatures, may lack long-range order and even topological order, and still are thermodynamically distinct from uncorrelated disordered phases.…
Interpolating fields, used to excite hadrons from the QCD vacuum in nonperturbative field-theoretic investigations of hadron properties, are explored with an emphasis on unconventional nucleon interpolators. The QCD continuum model for…
We pursue the intriguing possibility that larger-size instantons build up diffractive scattering, with the marked instanton-size scale $<\rho> \approx 0.5$ fm being reflected in the conspicuous ``geometrization'' of soft QCD. As an explicit…
