It is shown that in the large-N_c limit radial Regge trajectories give rise in a natural way to the presence of the dimension-2 gluon condensate, <A^2>, in meson correlators. We match these models to QCD and provide estimates for <A^2> in…
We explore the role of the <A^2> gluon condensate in matching Regge models to the operator product expansion of meson correlators.
We compute the dimension-2 gluon pair condensate $g^2<{AA}>$ and the dimension-4 mixed quark-gluon condensate $<\bar{q}gA\cdot\gamma{q}>$ in Landau gauge within the framework of global color model. The result for the dynamical gluon mass is…

It is shown how nucleon-nucleon potentials can be defined in N dimensions, using dimensional regularization to continue amplitudes. This provides an easy way to separate out contact ($\delta$-function) terms arising from renormalization. An…
We analyze the perturbative expansion of a condensate in the O(N) non-linear sigma model for large N on a two dimensional finite lattice. On an infinite volume this expansion is affected by an infrared renormalon. We extrapolate this…
We determine the non-perturbative gluon condensate of four-dimensional SU(3) gauge theory in a model independent way. This is achieved by carefully subtracting high order perturbation theory results from non-perturbative lattice QCD…

Two variants of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model -- the model with 4-dimensional cutoff and the model with dimensionally-analytical regularization -- are systematically compared. It is shown that they are, in essence, two different models of…
Scattering amplitudes in the high-energy limit can be described in terms of their singularity structure in the complex angular momentum plane, consisting of Regge poles and cuts. In QCD, gluon Reggeization has long been understood as a…
