We investigate two-point correlation functions of left-handed currents computed in quenched lattice QCD with the Neuberger-Dirac operator. We consider two lattice spacings a~0.09,0.12 fm and two different lattice extents L~ 1.5, 2.0 fm;…
The impact of dynamical fermions on the vacuum structure of QCD is explored. Of particular interest is the topological charge correlator, $<q(x) q(0) >$, where negative values at small $x$ reveal a sign-alternating layered structure to the…
We analyze the meson correlator in the spatial direction at finite temperature. To achieve fine resolution in the spatial direction, we use an anisotropic lattice with the standard Wilson plaquette gauge action and the $O(a)$ improved…
We introduce a new sum-rule for large-$N_c$ QCD which relates the density of heavy quarkonium states, the state-averaged square of the wavefunction at the origin, and the heavy quark current-current correlator. Focusing on the region of…
We review the status of the practical operator product expansion (OPE), when applied to two-point correlators of QCD currents which interpolate to mesonic resonances, in view of the violations of local quark-hadron duality. Covered topics…
We suggest to carry out lattice calculations of current correlators in position space, sandwiched between the vacuum and a hadron state (e.g. pion), in order to access hadronic light-cone distribution amplitudes (DAs). In this way the…
In this talk results from a new QCD analysis in leading (LO) and next--to--leading (NLO) order are presented. New parametrizations of the polarized quark and gluon densities are derived together with parametrizations of their fully…
A brief review is given of the lattice QCD calculation of the hadron spectrum. The status of current attempts toward inclusion of dynamical up, down and strange quarks is summarized focusing on our own work. Recent work on the possible…
We consider the continuity equation for open chaotic quantum systems in the semiclassical limit. First we explicitly calculate a semiclassical expansion for the probability current density using an expression based on classical…

The low energy mass spectrum of QCD in the large $N_C$ limit is computed. The low-lying states in the meson spectrum are explicitly evaluated up to the fourth order in the strong coupling perturbative expansion. The 't Hooft limit is smooth…
We show that in QCD in the leading twist approximation flavor singlet light cone current-current correlators increase with distances rapidly similar to the correlator of velocities in turbulence and argue that this property is precursor of…
The structure of the quark propagator of $QCD$ in a confining background is not known. We make an Ansatz for it, as hinted by a particular mechanism for confinement, and analyze its implications in the meson and baryon correlators. We…
We perform the QCD testing of the Quasilocal Quark Model (QQM) based on Operator Product Expansion (OPE). The quark current correlators calculated in framework of the model, are compared to their OPE in QCD at intermediate energies. The QQM…
The $\Xi\Xi$ interaction in the $^1$S$_0$ channel is studied to examine the convergence of the derivative expansion of the non-local HAL QCD potential at the next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^2$LO). We find that (i) the leading order…
We analyze the static QCD potential V_QCD(r) in the distance region 0.1 fm < r < 1 fm using perturbative QCD and OPE as basic theoretical tools. We assemble theoretical developments up to date and perform a solid and accurate analysis. The…
The non-diagonal correlators of vector and scalar currents are considered at three-loop order in QCD. The full mass dependence is computed in the case where one of the quarks is massless and the other one carries mass $M$. We exploit the…

We study the Regge regime of QCD as a special regime of lattice gauge theory on an asymmetric lattice. This lattice has a spacing $a_0 $ in the longitudinal direction and a spacing $a_t $ in the transversal direction. The limit…
We investigate the properties of heavy quarkonia at finite temperature in detail using QCD sum rules. Extending previous analyses, we take into account a temperature dependent effective continuum threshold and derive constraints on the…
