We investigate the infrared structure of QCD within the adiabatic approximation, where soft gluon configurations evolve slowly compared to the fermionic modes. In this formulation, the functional space of gauge connections replaces…
We solve renormalization group equation in QCD in the presence of SU(3) constant chromo-electric field E^a with arbitrary color index a=1,2,...8 and find that the QCD coupling constant \alpha_s depends on two independent casimir/gauge…
We derive equations for the time evolution of the reduced density matrix of a collection of heavy quarks and antiquarks immersed in a quark gluon plasma. These equations, in their original form, rely on two approximations: the weak coupling…
We discuss the matching conditions and renormalization group evolution of non-relativistic QCD. A variant of the conventional MS-bar scheme is proposed in which a subtraction velocity nu is used rather than a subtraction scale mu. We derive…

In these proceedings, we shall first recall the evolution equations arising when increasing the rapidity $Y=\log(s)$ within the perturbative QCD regime. We shall then summarise the main properties on their asymptotic solutions and discuss…
In a simplified model we study how close can the result of a fast, non-equilibrium hadronization of quark matter in an expanding fireball come to hadronic composition in equilibrium. We present a chemical approach to the simple A+B --> C…

We study an effective theory for QCD at finite temperature and density which contains the leading center symmetric and center symmetry breaking terms. The effective theory is studied in a flux representation where the complex phase problem…

We derive nonperturbative flow equations within an effective constituent quark model for two quark flavors. Heat-kernel methods are employed for a renormalization group improved effective potential. We study the evolution of the effective…
We explore the link between the chiral symmetry of QCD and the numerical results of the light-front quark model, analyzing both the two-point and three-point functions of the pion. Including the axial-vector coupling as well as the…
Light-front coordinates offer a scenario in which a constituent picture of hadron structure can emerge from QCD, after several difficulties are addressed. Field theoretic difficulties force us to introduce cutoffs that violate Lorentz…
We study the infrared limit of two dimensional QCD, with massless dynamical Dirac fermions that are in the fundamental representation of the gauge group. We find that the theory reduces to a spin generalization of the Calogero model with an…
Qualitons, topological excitations with the quantum numbers of quarks, may provide an accurate description of what is meant by constituent quarks in QCD. Their existence hinges crucially on an effective Lagrangian description of QCD in…
The compatibility between the QCD analytic invariant charge and chiral symmetry breaking is examined in detail. The coupling in question incorporates asymptotic freedom and infrared enhancement into a single expression, and contains only…
We study an extended QCD model in 2D obtained from QCD in 4D by compactifying two spatial dimensions and projecting onto the zero-mode subspace. This system is found to induce a dynamical mass for transverse gluons -- adjoint scalars in…
The following lectures are an introduction to the phenomena of partonic saturation and nonlinear evolution equations in Quantum Chromodynamics. After a short introduction to the linear evolution, the problems of unitarity bound and parton…
The fireball created in an ultrarelativistic heavy ion collision is the environment in which all processes providing clues about the possible formation of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) happen. It is therefore crucial to understand the…
