The Coulomb-gauge vector potential of a uniformly moving point charge is obtained by calculating the gauge function for the transformation between the Lorenz and Coulomb gauges. The expression obtained for the difference between the vector…
The $Q\bar{Q}$ potential is calculated in the Color-Dielectric Formulation of Transverse Lattice QCD. In such a formulation an effective potential is used to enforce the $SU(N_c)$ symmetry of the link fields. This effective potential is…
Analytic versions of QCD are those whose coupling alpha_s(Q^2) does not have the unphysical Landau singularities on the space-like axis (-q^2=Q^2 > 0). The coupling is analytic in the entire complex plane except the time-like axis (Q^2 <…
The nucleon-nucleon potential is analysed using the 1/N_c expansion of QCD. The NN potential is shown to have an expansion in 1/N_c^2, and the strengths of the leading order central, spin-orbit, tensor, and quadratic spin-orbit forces…

The Modified Leading Log Approximation of QCD and the local parton hadron duality picture are shown to give a fully satisfactory description of data on charged particle energy spectra in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The analysis of data in terms…
A certain modification of the semiclassical quantization condition based on the summarization of the known power expansion in the squared Planck constant is proposed. Corresponding deviation from exact spectra arises only together with the…
The general relation between the standard expansion coefficients and the beta function for the QCD coupling is exactly derived in a mathematically strict way. It is accordingly found that an infinite number of logarithmic terms are lost in…
A potential model description of heavy quarkonium can be rigorously deduced from QCD under some circumstances. The potentials can be unambiguously related with Wilson loops with gluonic insertions, the spectral decomposition of which is a…
We perform a high precision measurement of the static $q\bar{q}$ potential in three-dimensional SU($N$) gauge theory with $N=2,3$ and compare the results to the potential obtained from the effective string theory. In particular, we show…
The problem of precise evaluation of the perturbative QCD predictions at moderate energies is considered. Substantial renormalization scheme dependence of the perturbative predictions obtained with the conventional renormalization group…
One major systematic uncertainty of lattice QCD results is due to the continuum extrapolation. For an asymptotically free theory like QCD one finds corrections of the form $a^{n_\mathrm{min}}[2b_0\bar{g}^2(1/a)]^{\hat{\Gamma}_i}$ with…
Exponential resummation to all orders in $\mu_B$ is a promising scheme which can capture contributions to all orders in $\mu_B$ by considering only the first few Taylor coefficients in the Taylor expansion of thermodynamic observables in…
We develop a picture of the QCD string as a chain of constituent gluons, bound by attractive nearest-neighbor forces which may be treated perturbatively. This picture accounts for both Casimir scaling at large N, and the asymptotic center…
We consider the effective potential in three-dimensional models with O(N) symmetry. For generic values of N, and in particular for the physically interesting cases N=0,1,2,3, we determine the six-point and eight-point renormalized coupling…
Perturbation expansions up to third order for the generalized spiked harmonic oscillator Hamiltonians H = -d^2/dx^2+ x^2 + A/x^2 + lambda/x^alpha, A >= 0, 2gamma > alpha, gamma=1+(1/2)sqrt(1+4A), and small values of the coupling lambda > 0,…

It is shown that the Dunkl harmonic oscillator on the line can be generalized to a quasi-exactly solvable one, which is an anharmonic oscillator with $n+1$ known eigenstates for any $n\in \N$. It is also proved that the Hamiltonian of the…
In this thesis I investigate the thermodynamics of the O(N) nonlinear sigma model and the CP^(N-1) model in 1 + 1 dimensions, which are toy models for QCD. In particular I put emphasis on the calculation of the effective potential and the…
We present results on the QCD phase diagram for mu_B <= pi T. Our simulations are performed with an imaginary chemical potential mu_I for which the fermion determinant is positive. On an 8^3 x 4 lattice with 2 flavors of staggered quarks,…
