The static QCD potential is analyzed in operator-product-expansion within potential-NRQCD framework when r << 1/Lambda_{QCD}. We show that the leading short-distance contribution to the potential, defined as a perturbatively computable…
The leading non-perturbative contribution to the static QCD potential at r << 1/Lambda_QCD is known to be O(r^2) in operator-product expansion. It indicates that a "Coulomb+linear" potential at r <~ 1/Lambda_QCD is included in the…
Recently evidence has been found that the perturbative QCD potential agrees well with phenomenological potentials and lattice computations of the QCD potential. We review the present status of the perturbative QCD potential and theoretical…

The relativistic correction to the QCD static inter-quark potential at O(1/m) is investigated nonperturbatively for the first time by using lattice Monte Carlo QCD simulations. The correction is found to be comparable with the Coulombic…
Within an effective field theory framework, we obtain an expression for the next-to-leading term in the $1/m$ expansion of the singlet $Q{\bar Q}$ QCD potential in terms of Wilson loops, which holds beyond perturbation theory. The…
Perturbative calculations of the static QCD potential have the $u=3/2$ renormalon uncertainty. In the multipole expansion performed within pNRQCD, this uncertainty at LO is known to get canceled against the ultrasoft correction at NLO. To…
We show that the O(Lambda) ambiguity in the pole mass can be fixed in a natural way by introducing a modified nonperturbative V-scheme momentum space coupling tilde-alphaV(q) where the confining contributions have been subtracted out. The…
Non-relativistic potential models are considered of the pure power V(r) = sgn(q) r^q and logarithmic V(r) = ln(r) types. Envelope representations and kinetic potentials are employed to show that these potentials are actually in a single…
We analyze the static QCD potential in the distance region 0.1 fm < r < 1 fm. We combine most recent lattice computations and perturbative computations of the potential, in the framework of operator-product expansion (OPE). We determine…
We develop a calculational scheme in Coulomb and temporal gauge that respects gauge invariance and is most easily applied to the infrared asymptotic region of QCD. It resembles the Dyson-Schwinger equations of Euclidean quantum field theory…
We derive a formula which relates the QCD potentials in momentum space and in position space in terms of the beta-function of the renormalization-group equation for the potential. This formula is used to study the theoretical uncertainties…
Using the effective theory pNRQCD we determine the potential energy of a color singlet quark-antiquark pair with (fixed) distance r in three space-time dimensions at weak coupling (alpha r << 1). The precision of our result reaches…
We investigate the $u=1/2$ [$\mathcal{O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD})$] and $u=3/2$ [$\mathcal{O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD}^3)$] renormalons in the static QCD potential in position space and momentum space using the OPE of the potential-NRQCD effective field…
The effective potential of scalar QED is computed analytically up to two loops in the Landau gauge. The result is given in 4-epsilon dimensions using minimal subtraction and epsilon-expansions. In three dimensions, our calculation is…

We compute the M theory corrections to the confining linear potential between a quark and an anti-quark in N=1 Super Yang-Mills theory. We find a constant term, and a term exponentially small with characteristic length of…
The static three-quark (3Q) potential is measured in the SU(3) lattice QCD with $12^3 \times 24$ and $\beta=5.7$ at the quenched level. From the 3Q Wilson loop, the 3Q ground-state potential $V_{\rm 3Q}$ is extracted using the smearing…
Within the framework of semiclassical QCD approximations the short distance behavior of two static color charges in (2+1)-dimensional QCD is discussed. A classical linearization of the field equations is exhibited and leads to analytical…
