Using an effective strongly coupled lattice QCD Hamiltonian and Wilson fermions we calculate the equation of state for cold and dense quark matter by constructing an ansatz which exactly diagonalizes the Hamiltonian to second order in field…
Long strings emerge in many Quantum Field Theories, for example as vortices in Abelian Higgs theories, or flux tubes in Yang-Mills theories. The actions of such objects can be expanded in the number of derivatives, around a long straight…
I perform a high precision measurement of the static quark-antiquark potential in three-dimensional ${\rm SU}(N)$ gauge theory with $N=2$ to 6. The results are compared to the effective string theory for the QCD flux tube and I obtain…
We study $2d$ QCD coupled to fermions in the adjoint representation of the gauge group $SU(N)$ at large $N$, and its relation to string theory. It is shown that the model undergoes a deconfinement transition at a finite temperature…
We present an exploratory study of leading isospin breaking effects in mesonic masses using $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions with open boundaries. Isospin symmetry is explicitly broken by distinct masses and electric charges of the up and…

We review techniques simplifying the analytic calculation of one-loop QCD amplitudes with many external legs, for use in next-to-leading-order corrections to multi-jet processes. We explain how a supersymmetry-inspired organization works…

The variational method and the Hamiltonian formalism of QCD are used to derive relativistic, momentum space integral equations for a quark-antiquark system with an arbitrary number of gluons present. As a first step, the resulting infinite…
Utilizing a picture of string and string spinors, we show a simpler version of staggered action. The advantage of this action is that in this action there always exist pair of quarks with different masses.
I summarise what lattice methods can contribute to our understanding of the phenomenology of QCD at large Nc and describe some recent work on the physics of SU(Nc) gauge theories. These non-perturbative calculations show that there is…
QCD is constructed as a lattice gauge theory in which the elements of the link matrices are represented by non-commuting operators acting in a Hilbert space. The resulting quantum link model for QCD is formulated with a fifth Euclidean…
We consider the finite temperature phase diagram of holographic QCD in the Veneziano limit (Nc large, Nf large with xf=Nf/Nc fixed) and calculate one string-loop corrections to the free energy in certain approximations. Such corrections,…

The perturbative QCD calculation of heavy quark fragmentation into a heavy meson is extended to predict fragmentation into heavy flavor baryons. This is accomplished by implementing the quark-diquark model of the baryons. Several diquark…
In this work, we first use Thompson's renormalization group method to treat QCD-vacuum behavior close to the regime of asymptotic freedom. QCD-vacuum behaves effectively like a "paramagnetic system" of a classical theory in the sense that…
