This is the first of a sequence of papers that address the non-perturbative origin of the central, and spin-dependent forces between quarks. Its main thrust is a focus on meson spectroscopy in the center of mass frame. We suggest a "dense…
We propose a new estimate of the process $B \to (\rho, \omega)+ \gamma$ by using the light-cone QCD sum rule. The aim is to choose the chiral quark current operators in order to eliminate the uncertainty arising from the chiral-even…
We review our results on light scalar quarkonia ($\bar{q}q$ and four-quark states) from (inverse) QCD Laplace sum rules (LSR) and their ratios ${\cal R}$ within stability criteria and including higher order perturbative (PT) corrections up…
The axion mass receives a large correction from small instantons if the QCD gets strongly coupled at high energies. We discuss the size of the new CP violating phases caused by the fact that the small instantons are sensitive to the UV…
We study the role of semi-classical QCD vacuum solutions in high energy scattering by considering the instanton contribution to hadronic cross sections. We propose a new type of instanton-induced interactions (``instanton ladder'') that…

We present a sum-rule extraction of the decay constants of heavy-light mesons from the two-point correlator of pseudoscalar currents. To this end, we compare the perturbative expansions for the correlator and the decay constant performed in…
The singlet coupling to the topological charge density in the instanton vacuum, causes the instantons and antiinstantons to be screened over distances of the order of 1/2 fm. Dilute instanton systems behave as a free gas, while dense…
The strong decays of the pseudoscalar and scalar double-charmed tetraquarks $ T_{cc;\overline{u}\overline{d}}^{+}$ and $\widetilde{T}_{cc;\overline{u} \overline{d}}^{+}$ are investigated in the framework of the QCD sum rule method. The mass…
We analyze the existence of the exotic $\Theta^+$ from the perspective of instanton induced quark dynamics. The 't Hooft interaction gives strong attraction in specific channels of the triquark $ud\bar s$ and diquark $ud$ configurations. In…
In the framework of the instanton vacuum model we evaluate the Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) low-energy constants h_3,l_7. We found that in the instanton vacuum model the constant l_7 is very sensitive to the shape of the instanton and…
We investigate the impact of instantons on scalar glueball properties in a largely model-independent analytical approach based on the instanton-improved operator product expansion (IOPE) of the $0^{++}$ glueball correlator. The instanton…
