We briefly review the status of our understanding of hadron structure based on QCD. This includes the role of symmetries, especially chiral symmetry, and the insights provided by lattice QCD. The main focus is on baryon structure and…
We consider QCD instanton-induced contributions to lepton pair production in hadron-hadron collisions. We relate these contributions to those known from deep inelastic scattering and demonstrate that they can be calculated reliably for…
We study the Sivers function for valence u and d quarks in the proton within the instanton model for QCD vacuum, adopting the MIT bag model wave functions for quarks. Within approaches based on perturbative one-gluon final state…
Recent theoretical developments to calculate cross sections of hadronic objects in the high energy limit are summarised and experimental attempts to establish the need for new QCD effects connected with a resummation of small hadron…
Possible modes of asymptotic behavior of the amplitudes of hadron scattering in QCD are discussed. It is shown that the condition of triviality of the scattering matrix when the interaction of the fundamental fields is turned off leads to…
We review our on-going theoretical and phenomenological investigation of the prospects to discover QCD-instantons in deep-inelastic scattering at HERA.
We consider the instanton contributions for the production of a gluon jet with large transverse momentum in QCD. We find that Mueller's corrections corresponding to the rescattering of hard quanta are likely to remove contributions of large…
We briefly review common features and overlapping issues in hadron and flavor physics focussing on continuum QCD approaches to heavy bound states, their mass spectrum and weak decay constants in different strong interaction models.
The main aspects of chiral symmetry in QCD are presented. The necessity of its spontaneous breakdown is explained. Some low-energy theorems are reviewed. The role of chiral effective Lagrangians in the formulation and realization of chiral…
The influence of nonperturbative fields on instantons in quantum chromodynamics is studied. Effective action for instanton is derived in bilocal approximation and it is demonstrated that stochastic background gluon fields are responsible…
Instanton processes are present in a variety of quantum field theories relevant to high energy as well as condensed matter physics. While they have led to important theoretical insights and physical applications, their underlying features…
In this thesis we show that the effective Lagrangian models, encoding the relevant symmetries of the underlying fundamental gauge theory for strong interactions (QCD), provide a reasonable understanding of the interactions among Light…
We survey contemporary studies of hadrons and strongly interacting quarks using QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations, addressing: aspects of confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking; the hadron spectrum; hadron elastic and transition…
The binary interaction of large size instantons in a SU(2) Yang-Mills theory is obtained from the one-loop effective action for the field strength. The instanton interaction is calculated as a function of the instanton separation and in…
QCD is an extensively developed and tested gauge theory, which models the strong interactions in the high-energy regime. In this talk, I shall review the considerable progress which has been achieved in the last few years in the most…
The spinless Salpeter equation supplemented by an instanton induced force is used to describe the spectra of light mesons, including the pseudoscalar ones. The coupling constants of the instanton induced potential, as well as the quark…
Assuming the gluon field is well approximated by instanton configurations we derive a partition function and calculate the specific correlators. Namely, the heavy quark propagator and heavy quark-aniquark correlator with the account of the…
Chiral quark model with a broken-U(3) flavor symmetry can be interpreted as the effective theory of the instanton-dominated non-perturbative QCD. This naturally suggests the possibility of a negative singlet/octet coupling ratio, which has…
We analyze some aspects of the perturbative and non-perturbative interactions in the composition of heavy quarkonia, heavy and light baryons ($ccc$ and $uuu$ ones), as well as all charm tetraquarks ($cc\bar c\bar c$). Using the…
We consider the $N_c\to\infty$ limit of QCD using a toy model in which instantons exchange color-singlet scalar fields which do not self-interact. Our main observation is that collective attraction leads the formation of large clusters…
