Perturbation theory is an important tool to describe the properties of QCD at very high temperatures. Recently a new technique has been proposed to compute the one-loop effective action of QCD at finite temperature by making a gauge…
We study a possible symmetrical behavior of the effective charges defined in the Euclidean and Minkowskian regions and prove that such symmetry is inconsistent with the causality principle.
We unify two widely different approaches to understanding the infrared behaviour of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), one essentially phenomenological, based on data, and the other computational, realised via quantum field equations in the…
If constituent quarks are to emerge from QCD they must have well defined colour and be energetically favoured. After reviewing the general properties of charges in gauge theories, a method for constructing charges is presented and applied…
We study particle generation by a strong electric field in lattice QCD. To avoid the sign problem of the Minkowskian electric field, we adopt the "isospin" electric charge. When a strong electric field is applied, the insulating vacuum is…
In recent years the perturbative expansion of the pressure of massless QCD has been driven to order g^6ln(g) at high temperatures and finite chemical potentials, which has required calculations up to three-loop order in the full theory and…
A hierarchy of effective field theories is used to separate the contributions from different momentum scales and to calculate the free energy of QCD at high temperature in powers of the coupling constant up to order $g^5$. The behavior of…
We propose a simple approximation scheme to compute the effective charge of highly charged colloids (spherical or cylindrical with infinite length). Within non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann theory, we start from an expression of the effective…
Through the application of the thermal operator to the zero temperature retarded Green's functions, we derive in a simple way the well known hard thermal effective action in QCD. By relating these functions to forward scattering amplitudes…
Effective field theory methods provide a convenient approach to study static observables in field theory at finite temperature. In this talk, I will outline the construction of the effective field theory that describes effective observables…
We derive the topological susceptibility to the one-loop order in the chiral effective theory of QCD, for an arbitrary number of flavors.
In this talk, we present the QCD factorization formula for heavy quarkonium production at large $p_T$ with factorized leading-power and next-to-leading power contributions in the $1/p_T$ expansion. We show that the leading order analytical…
We present a new perspective on the study of the behavior of the strong coupling $\alpha_s(Q^2)$ -- the fundamental coupling underlying the interactions between quarks and gluons as described by the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) -- in the…
In our work we extend the ideas of the derivation of the chiral effective theory from the lattice QCD [1] to the case of the random lattice regularization of QCD. Such procedure allows in principle to find contribution of any order into the…
We compute the expansion of the 3-d Lattice QCD free energy to four loop order by means of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory. The first and second order are already known and are correctly reproduced. The third and fourth order…
At 2-loop order in the Coulomb gauge, individual Feynman graphs contributing to the effective action have energy divergences. It is proved that these cancel in suitable combinations of graphs. This has previously been shown only for…
The gauge invariant method for calculation of the effective action of the local composite fields in QFT is proposed. The effective action of the local composite fields in QED is studied up to 2-loop level. The graph rules for the local…
Top-quark pair production with an additional jet is an important signal and background process at the LHC. We present the next-to-leading order QCD calculation for this process and show results for integrated as well as differential cross…
